Hello, I'm having a problem monitoring some services using check_http. I'm using the 1.4.16 release of the plugins as distributed from Repoforge.org.
I think it's related to the same issue that Janet Sullivan posted and Holger Weiss responded to on the Nagios-users mailing list in June 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg27053.html Basically, the deal is that I'm looking at services that use keepalive without being asked to and violate HTTP in all sorts of other interesting ways. For example, the embedded web server in an Areca hardware RAID controller: $ telnet areca 80 Trying IP.AD.DR.ESS... Connected to areca. Escape character is '^]'. GET / HTTP/1.1 <-- followed by single carriage return HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Content-Type: text/html WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="Raid Console", qop="auth", nonce="0c7598e0fd182f05acdef23442245789" Content-Length: 0 The second carriage return produces a web page - with additional HTTP headers... A warning for the "unauthorized" state would be more useful information in monitoring than the critical timeout. Another oddity I've seen is that trying to monitor the availability of an HP ILO results in a timeout - doing a basic GET such as by check_http doesn't produce any response, even though the service is responding all right if connected to with a web browser. All ideas welcome... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
