Hi Team,

We have few DMZ Esxi hosts and ICMP is been blocked by the client and hence we need to find out another method to monitor the Esxi host UP/Down status.

443 Port is allowed.

How do we achieve this.

Hi,

You could use check_tcp and specify the port of 443:
The result:
You should set the -c (critical setpoint) to what makes sense for your network.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you please define as to what the -c is used for and where I would have to specify it, is it as and $ARG2$ as $ARG1$ will be 443.

Hi

-c is the critical setpoint. There is also a -w for warning setpoint. We will use only the -c because we are testing
for an "up or down" case. I chose "-c 10", what that means is we are giving the remote host 10 seconds to respond
to the tcp connection request.

Here are all the options for the "check_tcp" command: And here is how to set up the command in Nagios xi: second tab: Thanks
