You can use other check_command instead of check_ping. Such as check_tcp, check_http or other.
For example: This is a router, not permmit ping, but it's port 23 is open. define host{ use generic-switch ; Inherit default values from a template host_name qz-gw alias qz-gw address x.x.x.x parents sjhl-gw icon_image switch.gif icon_image_alt Switch vrml_image switch.gif statusmap_image switch.gd2 hostgroups gws check_command check_tcp!23 } 2009/4/13 Mika Chu <ledondo2...@gmail.com>: > Hi all, > I have one host need to be monitoring, but it is not allow ping.
