Is it possible to Dan> monitor a service that doesn't have a host (without defining a Dan> dummy host - may have to use loopback as a host definition!)??? I define a normal-looking host, with a check_command of 'host_always_up', defined thusly: define command{ command_name host_always_up command_line /bin/true } There are many different approaches to the same idea. But definitely, 100%, every service needs a host object to associate with. -- jared@wordzoo.com <A HREF="http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html">http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html</A> -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCM/CS/B d s:++>+ a- C++(++++)$ ULBSH++++ P+++ L+++ E++(+++) W++++ N- !o !K w !O M V PS+++(-) PE++(--) Y+ PGP>++ t@ 5 X+ R>+ tv++>-- b>++ DI+ D- G e++ h- r++>+++ y+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! <A HREF="http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562&alloc_id=6184&op=click">http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562&alloc_id=6184&op=click</A> _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <A HREF="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</A> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null </BODY> </HTML>
