|
curl -x 173.212.220.96:3128myproxyip:proxy_port https://www.google.decom/ --verbose |
Execute the active Check manually

OMD[mysite]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ cmk -N |grep http
check_command check_mk_active-http!'-u' 'https://www.google.decom/' '--ssl' '--onredirect=follow' '-j' 'CONNECT' '--sni' '-p' '3128proxy_port' '173.212.220.96myproxyip' 'www.google.decom'
command_line /omd/sites/cme2/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http $ARG1$
