Marc,
Thanks for your help. One last question for the moment. What do the "!" do
in your "check_ping!www.site2.com!127.0.0.2"? Is this how you pass
individual arguments? Last, is it not better to use "check_http" rather than
"check_ping"? If you can tell me this, that will be my last questions
hopefully pertaining to host and service configs.
Thanks,
Daniel

I'd probably go with the following as a basic example --
# 'check_http' command definition
# you should add or remove arguments to check_http as necessary define
command{
command_name check_http
command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -I $ARG2$ -s
\/html
}
# Generic host definition template
# adjust these values as you see fit
define host{
name generic-host
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 0
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 0
retain_status_information 0
retain_nonstatus_information 1
max_check_attempts 1
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r
register 0
}
# Generic service definition template
# adjust these values as you see fit.
define service{
name generic-service
notifications_enabled 1
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 0
check_freshness 0
event_handler_enabled 0
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 0
retain_status_information 0
retain_nonstatus_information 1
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 5
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 3
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r
register 0
}
# master host definition
define host{
use generic-host
host_name your-master-host
alias Whatever
address master.ip.address.here
}
# Service definition for ping
define service{
use generic-service
host_name your-master-host
service_description PING
retry_check_interval 3
contact_groups whoever
check_command check_ping
}
# Service definition for website1
define service{
use generic-service
host_name your-master-host
service_description SITE1
contact_groups whoever
check_command
check_http!www.site1.com!127.0.0.1
}
# Service definition for website2
define service{
use generic-service
host_name your-master-host
service_description SITE2
contact_groups whoever
check_command
check_ping!www.site2.com!127.0.0.2
}
Etc...
Substitute valid/correct IPs, hostnames, etc as necessary...
