Isn't there a way to check to see if a host is up without having to ping it? I have a switch that we don't allow ICMP return but I'd still like to have nagios tell me if it's up. Thanks! Just use a host check that *can* determine whether the host is up or not. There's no rule that says a host check must be an ICMP ping. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
