[Nagiosplug-help] check_ping service not generating alerts.

[Nadeem Mushtaq]

Thanks for your time Pablo. 

This is not the case as DNS is working fine. Issue is not about pinging, it
is working fine too but about generating alert for defined “ PING” service.
Change in the service state is weird.

Hi all,

I have defined a service for PING in Nagios as follows:

 

define service{

   use                                      generic-service

   host_name                      example.net

   service_description     PING

   check_command          check_ping!1600.0,40%!3000.0,60%

}

 

Problem is when I down the host it sends alerts for all other services but
none for “PING service”. PING alert is sent out for Host after specified
max_check_attempts. I want to be notified for the PING service (defined
above) as well. I noticed that service state changes to Hard to Soft and
then immediately to Hard bypassing the max_check_attemps and does not
generate any alert. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

 

Nadeem Mushtaq.
