Hi,
why are you trying to do it with a client-side test? You should just add an http test to the configuration and run it as a network test. In hosts.cfg:
1.2.3.4 myhost? # http://1.2.3.4/
If you must do it client-side, then you should add a test for port 80 being in LISTEN state. There are several examples of that on the Xymon demo site https://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/viewconf.sh?client like this which tests for port 6543 running a MythTV service
HOST=goya.hswn.rv13
PORT LOCAL=%[\.:]6543 STATE=LISTEN TEXT=myth
Regards,
Henrik

Hi,
I've been trying to establish a remote port check, but cannot get it to work. After reading the man pages and the corresponding topics on the mailing list, I've configured a test like this:
PORT REMOTE=1.2.3.4:80
but the remote port always comes back as down, even though it is up. Am I doing something wrong? Local port checks all work perfectly, only the remote ones do not.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Context: I am using local mode on all clients, so I'm putting all my checks in /etc/xymon/localclient.cfg, but this should not effect this check, right?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
