ping service

[John Tabasz (jtabasz)]

I am in a quite similar situation as Fanen. My question is more about
the configuration aspect. I have each host defined in the hosts.cfg
file, with a "check-host-alive" argument to the check_command directive.
Do I need to also build the commands.cfg or services.cfg file such that
every host has a declaration for every command I want to run on it?  If
I want to monitor 2K plus hosts, this is a lot of config file
building/monitoring/troubleshooting to do. Not to mention some large
files to be parsed by Nagios. 

Thanks,

John

Did you disable execution of service checks in nagios.cfg perhaps?

hecks

Also running /path/to/nagios -s /path/to/nagios.cfg might reveal
interesting information.
