To better clarify my last post, as Jason Q pointed out: your services check_command is probably something different than check_http. It could be some thing like check-http-server!8088
 
Sort of an alias of your choosing if you will, as opposed to the literal command_line in checkcommands.cfg

Hi,

I'm trying to use the check_http plugin to check a webserver running
on an unusual port number.  the syntax at the command line is
check_http -p <foo> <host>.  to get it working in my services.cfg, i
just use the literal command-line approach w/ the check_command (e.g.,
check_command "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -p 2584 aspapp1".
It seems like the "standard" way is to use the
"check_http!commandargs" approach, but i'm not sure how that's
supposed to work w/ the '-p', i've tried "check_http!-p!2584" (w/out
the quotes), but that doesn't work... what's the syntax for that?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson
