I think this solution is OK (I am going to use it ), we can probably lock the thread.

In case anyone is interested in the subject - I have written the simple check check_ping_remote_mangmt.sh which gets $HOSTNAME$ as a parameter and manipulates the hostname before calling check_ping. Something like this: define command{ command_name check-ping-remote-managment command_line /usr/local...

Thanks for the answer!

Thanks or response! My use case - for every host abcSRVdefgh I would like to have 2 ping checks: - ping_check for abcSRVdefgh (SRV in the name indicates a server), this would be standard - ping_check_ILO for abcILOdefgh (ILO in the name indicates an ILO board) I hope to be able to use sed in ping_ch...

Can I change a hostname ($HOSTNAME$) used in the check?

For example:
for host 'abcdefgh' I'd like to ping 'abcxyfgh'.

Thank you,
Aleksandr
