Please close out this case.

Hi abrist, Thank you for that info. Below are a few follow-up questions I was hoping you might be able to answer: 1) Can I set ssh to be the host check just for serverA while ping is the host check for all ofher machines? If so, do you have a link to any documentation for how to do this? 2) Where is...

Sorry for the doublepost but I had some additional questions to ask. I think I may also need to check "Disable notifications for this host" which I believe will only disable the "host check" notifictions and not the "service check" notifications for serverA. I shutdown ...

Hi, We are using Nagios Core version 3.2.3. I recently added serverA to be checked by Nagios by both SSH and HTTP service checks.

2) What is the location of that file?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated?

Hi tmcdonald,

That does make sense. I thought it would be ping but we have a "ping" service test for our servers so it looks like we are using a redundant test on some servers. Thanks.

Hi slansing, Thanks for repsponding to my question. I am not sure how Nagios is checking that the server I added is up. Basically, what test is it using? The only service test we have specified for that server is the “http” test but choosing the “Disable active checks of this host” would not stop th...

Hi, We are using Nagios Core version 3.2.3. I recently added a new machine to be monitored for the "http" test by Nagios. The only test I had Nagios performing for this machine was the "http" test. We immediately starting getting alerts that this host was down. I was able to get ...
