This will check if DNS is resolving: Keep in mind that this is testing if the nagios server can resolve DNS, the DNS servers it uses for lookups is defined perhaps in /etc/resolv.conf

Perhaps you also want a ping check, as this will determine if traffic is flowing:

Thanks! that has resolved my issue!
