Nagios Support Forum

For some reason the focus is on the host checks but miss the bigger picture. The topic is not host checks, but dealing with multiple IPs per host and strategies there. I already implemented the Linode API check_linode for the host status. Though there could be issues there that might make it seem as...

I am aware of the following approaches, and there likely are more. 1. Host per IP address (what I am using now and not...
