Thanks for the tip, but I am afraid I cannot understand how to do this inside OMD?
I perhaps gave a bad example, all I want to do is add one of the checks under Active Checks to a host. There are multiple checks possible there, DNS, HTTP, SMB etc. How do I add one of these checks to a host? -- Roald Amundsen On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 9:40 AM, marcin kowalski <[email protected]> wrote: > You can define a host representing a website, and override the "host is > up" check with whatever command that would check if that website is up. > > > I think that would be the simplest way. > > > 2013/12/6 Roald <[email protected]> > >> Hi, >> >> I just set up OMD and so far it works great.
