Hello,
I created an "Always_OK" command for these hosts I couldn't ping and appeared
in red even when all their services were green (i.e., check-host-alive does not
work). I decided that if all the services are on, it's because the host is
on...
define host {
use linux-server
host_name myhost
alias My host that can't stand pings
address my.host.ip.address
check_command check_ok
}
And, in commands.cfg:
define command {
command_name check_ok
command_line $USER1$/check_dummy 0 OK
}
Hope this helps...
Best regards,
Alejandro

Hi all,
I have one host need to be monitoring, but it is not allow ping. So the nagios
plug-in check_ping can not work. Host line in the web page is red. How can I
let nagios think it is OK?
I checked the manual, about host definition, check_command
This directive is used to specify the short name of the command that should be
used to check if the host is up or down. Typically, this command would try and
ping the host to see if it is "alive". The command must return a status of OK
(0) or Nagios will assume the host is down. If you leave this argument blank,
the host will not be actively checked. Thus, Nagios will likely always assume
the host is up (it may show up as being in a "PENDING" state in the web
interface). This is useful if you are monitoring printers or other devices that
are frequently turned off. The maximum amount of time that the notification
command can run is controlled by the host_check_timeout option.
sorry, I don't understand what should I do. Please advice me.
Thanks a lot!
