This is not explicitely supported, but you can “cludge” this by adding check_http probes and forcing the probe to check the site you want it to check by using your own command line arguments.
You usually have to disable the default arguments for this.

Betreff: Re: [Observium] Probe alertingLikely you don’t have the probes actually installed. They’re from the monitoring-plugins project. On Ubuntu you need the monitoring-plugins-* packages.
On Ubuntu 18.04 I have these packages :
ii monitoring-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2 all Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (metapackage)
ii monitoring-plugins-basic 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (basic)
ii monitoring-plugins-common 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Common files for plugins for nagios compatible monitoring
ii monitoring-plugins-standard 2.2-3ubuntu2 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems (standard)
ii nagios-plugins 2.2-3ubuntu2 all transitional dummy package (nagios-plugins to monitoring-plugins)
ii nagios-plugins-contrib 21.20170222 amd64 Plugins for nagios compatible monitoring systems
by default Observium will expect to find the plugin files in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins, this should work for most distributions.
Thanks,
Adam.

Subject: Re: [Observium] Probe alertingHello Adam
Thank you for your replay.
I though to have set it up correctly, but the status is always unknown.
The server is in the same lan as Observium, the web port 80 is running and reachable from Observium (wget), I made also a tcpdump host 10.61.0.58 just to be sure Observium is initialize a connection.
But I see no request to the server, so I was wondering if maybe I have to enable something in the global settings?
Thank you and your team for your effort to improve Observium!

Betreff: Re: [Observium] Probe alertingIf you just want to check port 80 on the same hostname as the Observium device entry, it’s as simple as going to the probes page and adding a check_http probe to the device you want to check.
It gets slightly more complex if you want to check different hostnames/Ips/ports, because you need to override the default arguments.

Does anybody have a simple example how to perform a check_http? Just to see if the service is running?

Betreff: [Observium] Probe alertingHi,
Anyone doing alerting on probes?
I can match the probes in my association but not alert based on:
Require Any
status_event eq warning
status_event eq alert
Vänliga hälsningar / Best regards,
