Yes you're right, I don't use negate myself, must have misread the question. Switching the host check to a service check, in this case check_http would be more appropriate. -h -- Hari Sekhon - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

Hi, you can define the check-host-alive in your templates, so if you have some hosts that don't accept icmp-packets you can change it to any checkcommand you want.

I'd go this route with a plugin that will always return true, or use tcping to test if the machine is reachable that way. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Im check http port on it. But nagios by default does check_alive - and

How can im evade this?
define command {
command_namecheck_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
define host {
check_command check_http
host_name myhost
address 1.2.3.4
[..other configs options..]
}
This makes nagios use check_http as the host alive status, rather
than pings.
