You don't need to use LS. If ICMP requests are not allowed for this host, you could change your "host alive" command to use something else, e.g. using check_tcp against a port that is open, etc.

Here's our documentation on changing the host alive check command:

Is there a plugin Nagios XI for check the number of events/15 min (integrated to LS) of a host?

Hi Alberto,

Please see PM.

Yes, you can run the Nagios Log Server Wizard, and use the "Text Queries" section

The example below will give a count for the host "192.168.5.153" and warn if over 50, critical if over 100 in the last 15 minutes
