$ ssh root@Ip<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure that we have check_http plugin under \/usr\/local\/nagios\/libexec\/ directory, if there is no check_http plugin, download plugin from the following URL https:\/\/nagios-plugins.org\/download\/ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ cd \/usr\/local\/nagios\/libexec\/<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
