Sorry I didn't see this e mail before. Here is what you wanted to see.
It is only one machine that I need to monitor.
Here is what my hosts.cfg file looks like.
# 'jello' host definition
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name jello2
alias jello2
address 172.16.1.x
check_command check_ping
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
Here is my services.cfg file for that same machine:
# Service definition
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name jello2
service_description check_ping
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups opnet-admins
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_ping
