If I change the hosts.cfg from the IP of the server (<a href="http://10.10.10.7">10.10.10.7</a>) to the URL I'm specifying in services.cfg, it works fine. The default site for <a href="http://10.10.10.7">10.10.10.7</a> is a CRM site which requires basic auth. So even though i'm specifying a URL in services.cfg, it looks like it's be overridden by the hosts.cfg so it can't auth. What is the point of the -H switch in services.cfg if it always uses the IP for the host in hosts.cfg? I tried that format (-a admin:password) at the end of the check in services.cfg but it still failed with unauthorized. <div>On 6/22/07, Marc Powell <<a href="mailto:marc@ena.com">marc@ena.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> > -----Original Message----- > From: <a href="mailto:nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net"> nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:nagios-users-">nagios-users-</a> > <a href="mailto:bounces@lists.sourceforge.net">bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</a>] On Behalf Of Jerad Riggin > Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 8:41 AM > To: GJP > Cc: <a href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios HTTP monitoring > > I have a check_http command that works perfectly at the command prompt > > ./check_http -H lagarde -t 5 -s "LaGarde Intranet site" > > However in nagios, check_http!-H lagarde -t 5 -s "LaGarde Intranet site" > still returns an unauthorized.
