[Nagiosplug-help] plugin help

[Andy Shellam]

Hi Mike,

It looks Nagios is trying to find a command called "check_http -H 
192.168.0.5."

What is your service definition for the "localhost" host (in 
localhost.cfg) ?
The relevant line should be:

service {
...
check_command     check_http
...
}

I'm guessing at the minute it says something like

service {
...
host    localhost
...
check_command   check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$
...
}

which is incorrect.  Your command definition looks fine.
