Simply try to ping a host that you know it's reachable under normal condition.
eg:
hostgroup ethCard <host_normally_reachable>
watch ethCard
service ping
interval 5m
monitor fping.monitor
period
alert mail.alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
upalert mail.alert -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]
alertevery 2h
The real problem could be:
how can the mon server alert someone if it has only one card and it is disconnected
from the network?
2 eth card on two different network ;-)

What should I use to monitor if my network card is working, so I get a alarm
if someone pull the plug or something like that?
