I saw in the email thread about you asking if you need to use a patch for Nagios to use IPv6. The answer to your question is no. If you have a IPv6 only host you can use the IPv6 address in the address field. You need to type the entire IPv6 address out, because Nagios doesn’t handle the double colon (::) shorthand very well. You'll need to update your commands to use the IPv6 option such as specifying the -6 flag on some of the checks. If you have a dual stack host with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses you'll need to use a custom variable in order to specify a IPv6 address. Custom variables are created by using the underscore (_) before the variable name. For example I use _address6 for IPv6 addresses in my configuration files for the host I monitor. In my commands config file I reference the custom variable like so: $_HOSTADDRESS6$. I hope this helps.<br>
