check_ping

[Askar Ali]

hi list,

   Im just checking my firewall "iptables" machine whether is alive or not

what I did hard coded ping argument in checkcommand.cfg

# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_ping
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 500,20% 
-c 1000,50% -p 5
        }

then called it in services.cfg "check_command  check_ping".
Okay my question is ,
1) is this correct way to check the status of host?
2) Is it good to hard coding values in checkcommand.cfg ?

regards
