Hey all, I've got my nodes set manually by IP address. It seems they all are trying to detect whether the node is up by ICMP and some also use SSH and some use SMTP. Right now I just have about 5 nodes. I think only one is actually SMTP and ICMP. The rest use ICMP and SSH. I can get SSH and SMTP to work. But I can't get ICMP to work. BUT I can ping them from the command line. Can someone explain to me how this is? I thought what ICMP does is ping them? Why would it work in the command line and not in OpenNMS? Any ideas about how to go about troubleshooting this?
I basically want to know if I have a network connection to the machine. I would assume SSH is good enough for this. How about SMTP, for the node that doesn't have the SSH option? Should I just change the critical service? If so, how does that work when they don't all use SSH? If I set the critical service to SSH, won't the one with SMTP not report as "up"? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://opennms.530661.n2.nabble.com/Understanding-ICMP-and-Getting-Node-Status-Up-tp7584156.html Sent from the OpenNMS - devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
