Probe your website with check_http and check_ping plug-ins /w NAGIOS

# Basically what you need is a specific character chain to read on a website, to make sure that
# it is up and running, just like we did with the Nagios browser.
# We are going to keep on checking and to keep an eye this site if it is reachable or if it has been changed.

# First we ensure that the SSL cert prerequisites are installed.
# make it ready for nagios user and nagioscmd user group
# then make it and install it

    apt-get install libssl-dev
cd /home/nagios/downloads/nagios-plugins-2.2.1/
    ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagcmd --with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl
    make
    make install

# create a config file - I will check my own blog,
# being an ultra runner, that is one of the first websites in history

# Basically what I did here is went onto a specific page in my blog
# and checked for the 2024 string on that page and till it is up,
# my page is up too, unchanged.
# We were a little lazy about giving all the obligatory arguments
# but it works. For the sake of testing, it is okay.
# Modify it to your needs.
