You can do the same thing in services as you did in hosts. First, define a new check command in commands.cfg:
# 'check_ping_ip' command definition define command{ command_name check_ping_ip command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -p 5 } And then add the services you need: define host { host_name Prod-firewall use generic-switch address xx.xx.xx.40 hostgroups firewall } define service { host_name Prod-firewall service_Description Ping_1 use generic-service check_period 24x7 notification-interval 240 notification_period 24x7 check_command check_ping_ip!xx.xx.xx.40!3000.0,80%!5000.0,100% } define service { host_name Prod-firewall service_Description Ping_1 use generic-service check_period 24x7 notification-interval 240 notification_period 24x7 check_command check_ping_ip!xx.xx.xx.41!3000.0,80%!5000.0,100% } and so on asa...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > I've a question on how to monitor multiple IP's of a firewall device > using check_ping in Nagios.
