[Nagios-users] reschedule service checks by host/servicegroup

2007-10-12 Thread Rob Brown
I had a group of nrpe services go critical due to some network problems. Once the network came back up, the higher priority checks all recovered, while the lower priority checks that are only scheduled to check a couple times a day still showed CRITICAL (and would have for hours). With my understan

I have a need to set up a ping check using a specified packet size. It seems that check_ping nor check_icmp have this option. Has anyone had a need to do this and found a workaround? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk
