find server reboots using ping monitor

[jodonnell]

how can I find out if a server rebooted if I only ping monitor a server?

Hello @jodonnell,

If the server was down long enough ( dependent on your configuration settings), you should get a notification for an unreachable host.

You can also keep track of server uptime with the check_uptime plugin.
