Nagios, mod_security and check_http

Posted by Mike Haller on Monday, March 15. 2010 at 23:34 in Hosting
Nagios is a tool for monitoring services, and I am using it to monitor virtual hosts. mod_security is an Apache httpd module which looks for suspicious HTTP traffic (e.g. trojans or hacker attacks) and blocks them.

As both tools are unaware of each other (which is a good thing) and i had an urgent need to write yet another blog post about minor technical quirks, let us look into todays issue more closely.
