more in detail: on reading your configuration, the core will decide if you have set the 'address' attribute in your host object. if not, it will copy the 'name' (hostname) attribute. so basically, you will have your hostname then available as 2 macro values: - $HOSTNAME$ - $HOSTADDRESS$ (this can be irritating, if hostname isn't a fqdn and the check plugin getting this as argument behaves badly.) my personal desire is to make the 'address' attribute mandatory, but this has been rejected a while back, as it breaks with existing configurations. for some details, see this discussion - https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2411 other than that, to answer the initial question - if your fqdn resolves into a valid A record on dns, plugins may treat 'address' similar to normal ip addresses. > > Kind regards > Denis > > On 01/22/2013 02:32 PM, Dennis Breuer wrote: >> Hi Icinga Users, is it possible do put an FQDN (like dit-systemhaus.de >> or st-willehad-oldenburg.com) in the adress to monitor websites? only >> the IP dont work if the content is not in the root dictionary of the >> webserver >> -- >> >> Mit freundlichem Gruß >> Aus Bad Zwischenahn >> >> Dennis Breuer >> Fachinformatiker - Systemintegration >> >> D.IT_LOGO >> >> *D.IT Systemhaus* >> Dipl.-Inf.
