Not that I'm aware of. Well, there are usage examples, but quite distributed over various places. There are attempts going on to add more "Best practices"-like examples to the documentation, recently a lot of effort has been invested in doing so for the HA/Clustering documentation. However, if I didn't misunderstand what you're asking for, this should be pretty easy to accomplish once reading the basic introduction: http://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/monitoring-basics (plus eventually the migration hint in case you have an Icinga 1.x or Nagios background) With that basic knowledge it should be fairly easy to interpret the options provided by the "http" check command: http://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/plugin-check-commands#plugin-check-command-http So, one solution to your example could be as simple as: template Host "Hosts reachable only via HTTP" { check_command = "http" } object Host "www.example.com" { import "Hosts reachable only via HTTP" address = "172.31.31.170" } Cheers, Thomas Am 29.08.2016 um 01:02 schrieb Warren Block: > Is there somewhere with a large collection of non-trivial configuration > examples?
