[Nagios-users] PING is critical
I have a nagios monitoring some hosts (routers /servers). For some reason i get many notifications that ping has expired (100% loss). Howerver, the host isn't down and i can ping the remote hosts from the linux thats runs nagios without any problem the same moment i get the critical notifications! At next check the 'PING' service is again up! The rest monitored services are up , only the ping expires. Any idea what can be wrong??

Sounds like an intermittent network issue, either on the Nagios host, the target host, or somewhere in between. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Pings are not guaranteed to get there and back so sometimes do get lost. Configure your services to send a few pings (I'd say anything between three and ten but your mileage may vary) and consider using either check_fping or check_icmp instead of check_ping. - Take Surveys.

Re: [Nagios-users] PING is critical
Yesterday i increased the number of pings from 3 to 6 with some better results (less notifications). Tomorrow i will set critical to be set when there is 100% lost. That way i hope fake alerts will be stopped. Thanks Tuesday, March 6, 2007, 10:05:39 PM, you wrote: On 06/03/07, Patrick Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any idea what can be wrong??
