How create an active check in a Distributed WATO environnement?

Hello community,
What is for you the simple way to create a http active check who is supposed be executed from some satelite host ?
For example a http check of a web page ( user experience http get time check oriented) from 2 satellite site ?
Because on a WATO active check form there is no way to define from where (satelite) check will be executed, only host from the current check_mk instance.
Thank you for your comment.

The resulting service from an active check will be assigned to some host(s). Thus it will be executed by the site (satellite) which “owns” each host. Just like the “Check_MK” active check which polls the agent. As configured in the “Monitored on site” parameter for each host.

Hello @martin.schwarz

There should be a misunderstood let me be more explicit :

The active check HTTP will be on explicit host WEBSITE_HOSTED_SITE_A
BUT i want make this check executed from differents poller on a distributed environnement for performance purpose kpi
SITE_A
SITE_B
SITE_C

Actually the check will be executed from SITE_A because WEBSITE_HOSTED_SITE_A is polled by SITE_A poller

I would have a simple way to execute the active check from SITE_A, SITE_B and SITE_C to be sure the access is OK from the 3 site.

See what i mean ?

I’m pretty sure you have to make 3 Dummy hosts with the same address and assign them to 3 different sites.
