Hi,

it looks like on your system the check can’t messure the time of the webrequest to the passed website. From the output I think you set verbose to 3. What happens if you set verbose to 1?

A look into the code of the check looks like the problem cause this if state

```auto
# Response Time
if ($HTTPData.$SingleUrl['RequestTime'] -eq $null) {
     $HTTPResponseTimeCheck = New-IcingaCheck -Name "HTTP Response Time" -Value 0 -LabelName ([string]::Format('{0}.http_response_time', $TransformedUrl)) -Unit 's' -Hidden;
      $HTTPResponseTimeCheck.SetUnknown() | Out-Null;
 } else {

```

That means the result of

```auto
$HTTPData.$SingleUrl['RequestTime']

```

is empty.

The question is now: why?

what we can also see if dig deeper in the code, the check calls the sub routine `Get-IcingaCheckHTTPQuery` which is calling another routine for meassure the time `Start-IcingaTimer`. The routine to get the time `Get-IcingaTimer` is only triggerd if there is a content.

Thank you. I just created the PR and fixed this issue: [Fix: Invoke-IcingaCheckHTTPStatus RequestTime return value by LordHepipud · Pull Request #287 · Icinga/icinga-powershell-plugins (github.com)](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga-powershell-plugins/pull/287)

It will be resolved with the v1.9.0 release in May or maybe sooner, depending if there are other issues in the meantime we can resolve.
