check_http

[tom.welsh at bt.com]

Hi Melanie,

On your Nagios host can you telnet to port 8080 from the shell? This will ensure you are actually connecting to the box.

I can see further down that you ran check_http and got a result.

Are you running the plugin as the nagios user?

Regards

Tom

hi,

the configuration went ok as you've said. But now I get a connection refused error.

Basically I want to monitor whether the apache server on the remote machine is up or not.
thanx
