Marc,
What do you do if you are monitoring a service on a host that does not
return a ping? I have am running a check_http on a box that does not
return pings. So I am constantly getting notices that the host is down,
even though the service is up. Here are my settings:
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to $
host_name tech.worldcampus.psu.edu
alias WDHelpDeskwww
address tech.worldcampus.psu.edu
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
checks_enabled 0
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r
contact_groups admins-group
}
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name PSUWebNoPing
alias PSU Web Servers
# contact_groups admins-group
members tech.worldcampus.psu.edu
}
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service $
hostgroup_name
ExternalWebServers,PSUWeb,PSUWebNoPin
g,WDWeb,ODINWeb,CASEWeb,EvaluationWeb,MiscWeb
service_description HTTP
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups admins-group
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_http
}
The PSUWebNoPing hostgroup is not a listed on the check_ping service.
But I still get host down notifications every two hours.
Thanks.
Robert
