newbie question...

I have a service defined in my services.cfg file that looks like this:

define service {
use generic-service
host_name myserver
service_description PING
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}

in my hosts file have "myserver" defined with an address tag: www.myserver.com <http://www.myserver.com>

when the check_ping command runs, does it check the ping status against www.myserver.com <http://www.myserver.com> even though I'm not specifically specifying the host in the check_ping command?


The "check_ping" command in your service definition is *not* a reference to the "check_ping" plugin, it's a reference to the "check_ping" check command defined somewhere else in your config. Normally that command will call a plugin (in this case, most likely check_ping) with some set of arguments, which in most cases include the address of the host on which the service was defined.
