check_http succeeds on command line but fails in nagios

Nagios
1

I execute this command in the terminal and it succeeds:
[root@monitor1 libexec]# ./check_http -I 127.0.0.1 -u /storage_check.php -t 300
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 61438 bytes in 86.078 seconds |time=86.078401s;;;0.000000 size=61438B;;;0

But when Nagios executes the command it fails with timeout.

Any ideas why???

Yes, you have a typo or something in your configs. Double/tripple check all your definitions, $USER1$ definition, etc again.

I cannot find anything wrong. This is the only check_http that times out.

From resourse.cfg

Sets $USER1$ to be the path to the plugins

$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec

From checkcommands.cfg

‘check_phase_2’ command definition

define command{
command_name check_phase_2
command_line $USER1$/check_http -I 127.0.0.1 -t 300 -u “/storage_check.php” -s “No errors.”
}

From services.cfg

Service definition

define service{
use test-phases
host_name stream7
service_description Phase 02 - Storage Pings
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 6
normal_check_interval 4
retry_check_interval 2
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 240
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r
check_command check_phase_2
}

Aha… service check timeout value in nagios.cfg needed to be upped to about 120. All good now.

strange fix. That’s 2 minutes. How long does the check take to execute when done by command line?
