I'm trying to setup nagios for a host what has the following webroot: www.example.com/ui/html/, but nagios won't accept as host this kind of host path check_ping: Invalid hostname/address.

Is there a workaround for this issue?

# Define a host for the local machine
define host{
        use                     linux-server            ; Name of host template to use
                                                        ; This host definition will inherit all variables that are defined
                                                        ; in (or inherited by) the linux-server host template definition.
        host_name               example.com/ui/html
        alias                   example.com/ui/html
        address                 www.example.com/ui/html/
        }
