I am trying execute the "check_url_status" plugin. I can run it correctly from a command line with a syntax of "check_url_status -U http://hostname, but when I put it in a windows.cfg file it doesn't work.
This is the syntax from the config file.

define service{
use generic-service
host_name hostname
service_description URL STATUS
check_url_status check_url_status -U http://hostname
}

I cannot start the nagios service with this syntax. Nagios is running on a SLES 11 server and its version is 3.0.6. The plugins version is 1.4.13.
Thanks for any assistance!

I don't know what it is in 3 (check your examples) but in Nagios-2 (leaving out thresholds) it was "check_command check_url_status".


It's always efficient to post error messages (if any).

Sorry the check_url_status line is incorrect....typo...that should read

check_command check_url_status -U http://hostname

The error when restarting Nagios is:

Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.

Thanks!
