Nagios - HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

nagios

Solution

I created a file with name `index.html` in the `/var/www/html` directory of the remote Linux machine (128.19.5.131). Restarted the HTTP service with `service httpd restart` and then executed the same command, i.e. :

`nagiossrv root [libexec] >/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H 128.19.5.131`

I got following output:

`HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 250 bytes in 0.001 seconds |time=0.000977s;;;0.000000 size=250B;;;0`

I do not know whether it is proper to add `index.html` file in the `/var/www/html` directory of each host to be monitored or not, but it is showing desired results in the Nagios XI console.
