RES: Cannot ping with APAN

[jeff vier]

An easier (and better, in my opinion) solution is to hack the apan
script to use the hostaddress instead.

I did it already - patch is attached. (diff from apan.stock to apan in
nagios directory).  Notably, this patch makes ALL apan plugs use IP
instead of hostname on the command line (only).

Just add a seventh field in your checkcommands.cfg to make it work:
command_line    /usr/local/nagios/apan/apan.sh $ARG1$ $HOSTNAME$
"$SERVICEDESC$" $TIMET$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $HOSTADDRESS$

nice, eh?
