OFFICIAL: CheckMK check_http help

I'm running Check_MK version 1.6.0p19 CRE

I'm trying to monitor a very simple locally hosted website via check_http.

For simplicity during testing I am attempting to monitor it from the standard linux agent on one of our CheckMK servers.

I have included my settings on the attached screenshot, but these are the pertinent details.

Service Name:                            Test Website
Hosts name / IP address:              testsite.xxx.yyy.zz
TCP Port:                                   443
Use SSL/HTTPS for the connection: Auto Negotiation
Explicit hosts:                             checkmkserver

The services on the host show this error

HTTPS Test Website HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request - 4107 bytes in 0.137 second response time

With the Service Check Command being

check_mk_active-http!'--ssl' '--sni' '-p' '443' 'testsite.xxx.yyy.zz'

I don't really understand why it is failing, but more interesting is that it works on the CheclMk server itself (which is where the agent doing the monitoring is defined).

OMD[checkmkserver]:~$ /opt/omd/versions/1.6.0p19.cre/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http --ssl --sni -p 443 -H testsite.xxx.yyy.zz
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 12205 bytes in 0.143 second response time |time=0.143125s;;;0.000000;10.000000 size=12205B;;;0

The difference seems to be that the Service Check Command is missing -H, am I being dense somewhere ?

Any help much appreciated.

Regards
Nigel
