I use check_ping for most of them except for some remote locations where icmp traffic is blocked. For those situations I use check_tcping. Works like a champ. I do have a few instances where things are restricted enough that I don't monitor the host, ( I have an ignore-host-alive command that always returns okay ) and I just monitor the services the host provides. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
