Nagios - Check_Dummy / Check_Http

When i test a WebServer i get the Status -> HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 403 Access Forbidden

How can i use check_dummy to correct the Status WARNING to OK ?

Thanks a lot.. :)

Nobody has a answer :Pengy:

Are you just trying to verify that the webserver is running? If so, you could use check_tcp!80 for the check command.

You get an Access Denied because the page refered by $HOSTNAME$ (ex : www.mydomain.com) can't be access directly.
If you need to go at a specific page ( ex : www.mydomain.com/login.asp) you must use a different check.
You must be using the basic check_http :

Code:

define command{

        command_name    check_http

        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$

        }

Define a new one in your checkcommands.cfg :

Code:

define command{

        command_name    check_http_url

        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H "$HOSTADDRESS$/$ARG1$"

        }

then in your services.cfg, replace the entry for the new check command :

Code:

define service{

        use                            template_for_that_host

        service_description            MyWebPage

        check_command                  check_http!login.asp
