If that's something you're concerned about, your check_multi will also "misfire" when the problem is at the uplink for the machines that you're monitoring. Monitoring a gateway and making it the parent is in no way a "workaround". An ideal installation for monitoring WAN-connected hosts would monitor your default gateway and make that the parent of all hosts. You'd also monitor the router at each remote site and make that the parent of all hosts at that site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
