When you install Nagios it comes with some canned templates including one called "generic-host." That template uses the check_command check_host_alive which uses the command_line 'check_ping ...'RandomGuy86 wrote:pinging is the default behavior
If you create a new host and omit that line, and DON'T use the generic-host template, it will never be actively checked. It will remain in pending eternally.
NCPA is an agent. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for. You can however use a check_ncpa.py type command as your check_command for a host. If that doesn't answer your question I think we'll need more clarification on what you mean.RandomGuy86 wrote:Is NCPA able to do a check via PING?
