check_http and regular expressions

[Masoud Tabrizi]

I am running the command as you suggested but it seems like there is something missing; what am I doing wrong?

All commans are run from /usr/lib/nagios/plugins directory;

 

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H xxxxx -u /sample/test.html -p 80 –a user:password -s TAPE

Response: 

HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0.018 second response time |time=0.018116s;;;0.000000 size=3648B;;;0

 

Now I run it with negate as you suggested:

./negate /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H xxxxx -u /sample/test.html -p 80 –a user:password -s TAPE

HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0.006 second response time |time=0.006001s;;;0.000000 size=3648B;;;0

 

Now I change the string to something which doesn’t exist:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H xxxxx -u /sample/test.html -p 80 –a user:password –s Testing

HTTP CRITICAL - string not found|time=0.012479s;;;0.000000 size=3648B;;;0

 

./negate /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H xxxxx -u /sample/test.html -p 80 –a user:password -s Testing

HTTP CRITICAL - string not found|time=0.005779s;;;0.000000 size=3648B;;;0

 

Any help is appreciated!

Yes, you were clear and I understood. The solution I provided does  

that. I did the *exact* same thing just today, authentication and  

everything.
