[Nagiosplug-help] check_http problem

[Alex Griffin]

Your command definition does not have any $ARGN$ variables, so it is not 
even seeing the custom addresses you specified. I recommend changing 
your command definition to the following:

define command {
     command_name  check_http
     command_line  $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

Then change your service definition to:

define service {
     use                  generic-service
     host_name            server-prod
     service_description  server-domainname.com 
<http://server.domainname.com>
     check_command        check_http!-I xxx.xxx.xxx.102 -H 
domainname.com -t 60 -S
}
