So what you are telling me is that these things cannot be added in the gui? I don't understand why it seems they are available through the gui then? (Host & Service Parameters, Active Checks) This is really a show-stopper for us, because we were hoping to get out of the shell configuration. This way we would be better off running normal Nagios.
Also, if I override the check_command, won't I only be able to run one test against a host? I will try to give a better example: I have a server that functions as a name server for a small number of hosts in a separate domain. This server is a dns server, and have some smb-shares. What I want is to monitor that the dns server and file server works without installing an agent on it. I want the OMD server to nslookup against that server and check that there is a reply and that the reply is correct. Also I want the OMD server to check that it can access a share from that server. These two checks are in the GUI as "Check DNS service" and "Check access to SMB share". I can write these into the config-files as you would do in Nagios, but I really want to define these checks in OMD. Thanks for all help!
