I have several hosts that I check by PING. I have one host that blocks ICMP but has port 80 open.
I decided to check on this particular host using check_tcp.
I created a define service and a servicegroup for check_tcp for this host. For the most part all is well except the host shows up in the Hosts page with "Down" Ping Critical Packet loss 100%. I don't have a PING service define for this host.
I do see the host in the Services page with the HTTP OK.
How do I stop PING from testing the host that does not respond to ICMP.
I have added graphics of what the GUI displays for this host in the Hosts and Service pages.
