(I'd also recommend changing it from check_http to avoid being confused which is your defined check and which is the nagios plugin) If you want to hit the nrpe on remote server the command should likely be this: /etc/nagios/services_hosts/host1.cfg define service{ use vc-service ; Name of service template to use host_name host1 service_description check_http normal_check_interval 15 check_command check_nrpe!check_http } Or if you want to not use check_nrpe the command you defined as define command{ command_name check_http command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ } Should be this define command{ command_name check_http command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -u $arg3$ } and the check would be check_command check_http!5!10!ident.html That's how I see it.
