Replacing Nagios check_http

[XXeR]

Hello, I'm replacing a Nagios installation with Zabbix, and I'm a bit tripped up on replacing check_http. The obvious choice would be to use Web checks in Zabbix, except the current stable release (2.0.6) still doesn't do Web check templates...so that won't work for me (large environment).

I think the best choice might just be to use a local CLI tool via the Zabbix Agent. While this isn't exactly like check_http, that's ok because I'm not testing latency...just the ability of nginx and apache to return a 200 before a timeout is reached. However I'm having trouble making curl behave the way I want...I suspect there's a better tool out there for this.

Have any others done this kind of thing? If so, what tool did you use?

Hmm, I suppose I could just continue to use check_http via the agent, that should work. I'm still curious to hear what others are doing for this though!

Take a look at the "web.page" item keys in the documentation at https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...s/zabbix_agent. Perhaps they will do what you want? These are not web scenarios.

Actually I think that'll work perfectly, I feel silly not knowing about it. Thanks for the reply!
