Checking host up without ping

[Clyde Jones]

You could use SNMP if it is configured.  Make sure to change your
community from public to something else and make it read only

Subject: [Nagios-users] Checking host up without ping

Hi list

I swear I've seen a way to do this this before but I just can't remember
where and I can't seem to find it.  Isn't there a way to check to see if
a host is up without having to ping it?  I have a switch that we don't
allow ICMP return but I'd still like to have nagios tell me if it's up.
Thanks!
