What I don't understanding, at the moment, is do I have to setup each of the ports as an individual host? Obviously the check_host_alive would check the switch itself is online and would not really be relevant to each of the ports. I was thinking of some kind of Link Status service, where I could

Hi, Monitoring switch ports is in much case useless as you often monitor the servers behind. In case you want to do this, and test the traffic flow through them, I think the best way is to use snmmp and group the testing of ports in a few (or one) services to minimize snmp queries, and only selec
