In the >end, generic-host-alive will still be using check_ping. Are you sure this is still the case? I'm pretty sure 3.x does host checks on a scheduled basis now. At least I'm seeing pings to all my hosts every minute. I believe that theory might have been correct for 2.x, but from what I have read the same does not apply for 3.x (see 17 in the what's new for v3). -- Jon Angliss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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
