' adds to each url for http check

[Peronia]

Hi,

I have many http checks for monitor websites for changes.
Here is a example conf:

As url I use: /de/support/model/LC49RG90SSUXEN/

But the check fails with:

HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - string '<li 
class="manuals-downloa...' not found on 
(https://www.samsung.com:443/de/support/model/LC49RG90SSUXEN/&#x27;)
 - 369312 bytes in 0.424 second response time

I don’t know where check mk adds the ' at the end.
Only 2 http checks are working, I don’t know why (I created the working checks long time before the other one).

I created a host to summerize these checks. It has 127.0.0.1 as ip. I moved the http checks to another “real” client, but this changed nothing.

My cmk version is 2.0.0p15
I’m using this plugin: HTTP/HTTPS Connection

Output from cmk --debug -vvn host:

OMD[monitoring]:~$ cmk --debug -vvn Webseitenueberwachung
Checkmk version 2.0.0p15

Even if I try to monitor google, the ' are added.

Thanks, this reinforces the suspicion that there is a misconfiguration. But where could this be?

[simon-mueller]

Check for an apostrophe ´ ←
somewhere in your rule. That’s what ' translates to.

[Peronia]

Yes, I know, but I don’t find any ´ in my checks. maybe another place?

Hi,
Did you ever find a solution to this as we are experiencing the same problem
Thanks

[Peronia]

Hi, I fixed it long time ago. I looked and did not find the solution.
Since no one answered me then except one user, I decided to keep the solution then also for me, I’m sorry for you.
I can tell you what it definitely was not:

• Update/reinstallation of Checkmk
• Changes to the code of Checkmk
• Client errors
• Error in the direct configuration of the HTTP check

[scott.reiser]

Sometimes these issues are resolved with little or no feedback and perhaps the SMEs didn’t see your original post. I have gotten pretty good results when asking if stale entries in the forums have been resolved…sometimes not.

I too am having this problem with &#x27 showing up in our IIS application pool monitors. Would you be willing to share your findings @Peronia?

[Dani]

We also have the same issue with &#x27 in the service description of our IIS Application Pool checks. The description show up normal in service discovery and from the agent output, with the apostrophe.

[predmijat]

I had the same issue and it was resolved after I swapped hostname for IP in “Hosts name / IP address” and added hostname in “Virtual host”.

I decided to keep the solution then also for me, I’m sorry for you.

@Sara
is there something like an award for “user of the month”? I think well deserved!

[Sara]

Well, even though being helpful is appreciated and is aligned with our values, I believe anyone is in their right to keep their knowledge to themselves

On the other hand, the tone of the post you mentioned, is not the tone that is appreciated in this community; it has been a year, but disrespectful way of addressing fellow community members was not tolerated before and is not tolerated now. Repeated situations like this one, where a message clearly contains disrespect to other members of discussion, would result in a warning and a possible ban, based on the community rules.

So even though the discussion already seems closed, I would remind anyone reading this that Checkmk community is for people who consider it a value and not a place of disrespect.

Upd: to clarify, the tone of the original poster was meant. Not sharing knowledge is fine and personal choice, but showing it in this way is not really what feels right to me.
