Re: [Nagios-users] Checking host up without ping
It's probably a bit late for this, but one of my servers used to be with a host that blocked pings, so I used check_ssh instead - if the SSH service responded, the server was up :) Andy.

Re: [Nagios-users] Checking host up without ping
Hi, Yes you can. If you have an other server running on it, example of http server you can use the check_http command, and I think you should remove the check_host_alive from the host config. If your switch does not host any other services, take a look on the check_fping command it may work :) Riahi Taieb On Fri, 2007-03-23 at 22:11 +0100, Michael Johnston wrote: > Hi list > > I swear I've seen a way to do this this before but I just can't remember > where and I can't seem to find it.

Change your host check_command to something that you reasonably believe represents the up/down status of the host. Check_tcp to port 23 if it accepts telnets would probably be sufficient. -- Marc - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

You could use SNMP if it is configured.
