nagios 1781 0.0 0.1 1508 448 ? S 17:35 0:00 /bin/ping -n
-U -c 1 10.1.82.35
I'm getting hosts showing as down still even after redeploying on RH73.. I
think there's something wrong in my config as my server should only be
accepting passive results, not trying to ping IP's that it can't even talk
to in the first place (all hosts are behind firewalls and monitored via
distributed servers). What variable controls these active ping checks? My
services.cfg ping doesn't seem to be the culpret because even if I comment
out the entire PING service, nagios still does it..
