Nagios Support Forum

Create a custom command on Host A that runs check_ping agains...

Directly from the host via SSH or KVM? Yes.

Hello, Wondering if you guys can help. I'm trying to create a check for hosts to be able to ping remote hosts, in the same way as pinging directly from the host itself via ping command. For example: localhost1 ---> 192.168.1.2 localhost1 ---> 192.167.1.3 localhost2 ---> 192.168.1.2 localhost2 ---> 1...

A browser like Firefox would also show a message that the script is slowing the browser down and offers an option to stop it. If I load the page and quickly select the Limit To download men...

I've got a bit of a strange problem. I've have Scheduled Backups set up for local and SSH; local for 12:30AM and SSH for 1:30AM, both daily. I have already tested the connectivity via the Test Connection, which passed with "Connection established. Username/Password OK." Also, tested transf...

Perfect, thanks! I thought I was going mad!

Hello, Just got 2026R1.5 installed on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and restored from a previous install running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. In the Check Updates page, I'm unable to get a check. It would fail instantly. I am running a proxy and have added the proxy details in the web GUI page as per https://library.nagios...
