Ping in Azure

Post by InscrutableDude »

MOD EDIT: This was split from https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43120

That did it, thanks!! Everything has started to go green. Does anyone have advice on how to allow ping between LAN hosts in Azure?

This is not really a Nagios issue, but according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9783 ... p-on-azure it looks like you need to set a public IP address.

Maybe I spoke too soon. While all services are listed as ok, the host continues to be listed as down: "CRITICAL - 10.3.0.29: rta nan, lost 100%"

Does this have to do with ping, or something else?

Please use https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43120 for your Nagios issue.

Are we ready to lock this up in regards to turning on ping in Azure?

Not really, no. As far as I can tell, all nagios machines come with both internal and external IPs. Second, I don't want the machines to be pingable from the WAN. I just want ping to work on the LAN.

You can change the Host check to use something else if you like...meaning, a different type of check, maybe a http check? Depends on the server.
