Hi there, you can't define a check_command like >> check_http -H some -p foo << in the service deifinition.
Define a new check in the commands.cfg like define command{ command_name check_http_args command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ } And in the service definition then try define service{ use local-service ; Name of service template to use host_name host2 service_description HTTP availability check_command check_http_args!host2!8080 } Kind regards, Dennis Hünseler -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Melanie Pfefer Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 11:17 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] check_http hi, I ran this from the shell: ./check_http -H host2 -p 8088 HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1192 bytes in 0.343 seconds |time=0.342683s;;;0.000000 size=1192B;;;0 now I added these lines in services.cfg: define service{ use local-service ; Name of service template to use host_name host2 service_description HTTP availability check_command check_http -H host2 -p 8080 } when I ran ./nagios -v ../etc/nagios.cfg, I have this error: Error: Service check command 'check_http -H host2 -p 8080' specified in service 'HTTP availability' for host 'host2' not defined anywhere!
