Hi, After reading this thread I just couldn't passed without commenting it. We also have this problem, we are an NREN and so a kind of ISP. We connect clients through rented lines and we want to monitor the lines we rent. How we can do this is simple: just ping the host in the other end of the line. It happens that these hosts are property of the client and so we don't have access to them or neither we care about the services they could have on them... (also, it was to complex to monitor services in multivendor hosts that we don't even know!) So we configured nagios 3.0.1 as we did since the old netsaint era, just created a service "ping", as been mentioned here before. The only difference is we disabled periodic host checks by setting the host check interval to 0. We also have a complex scenario here since we had setup a custom host_alive script to test hosts more time in after-hours time to don't have many false alarms to our night team. We do this with the new $ISVALIDTIME. (Thank you Nagios 3!! ;)) A final note on our monitoring experience is to only monitor services that are really important to us. I don't want to get my attention away of really hard problems with things that are not important to resolve. And that could be on a faulty state for weeks. Of course it depends on the size of the infrastructure you are monitoring, but I'm talking in hundreds of hosts and many more services. Regards Emanuel Massano
