I was hoping that this would be an option with the existing ping4 service. Your config is exactly what I needed. Now, I have two more questions. Where is the services like ping4 defined? I can't seem to find them. (But then it's probably under my nose.) Also, I can't seem to get notifications setup correctly. I'm wondering if there is an additional step that's not listed in the online docs; sendmail configuration or something? As far as contributing goes, I'll be happy too. I really need to get much more familiar with it before I start offering changes. I have spent the last 5 years semi-retired (in my late 30s no less), having 6 surgeries to repair badly arthritic joints, and I've been back in full time IT less than 6 months. Pulling up all the old IT knowledge is getting easier, but I'm not even close to being able to do what I could back when I worked for NOAA. But, I'm making plenty of notes, and hopefully they will be of some use when I'm happy with them. - -- Mark Haney Network Administrator/IT Support Practichem W:919-714-8428 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS1uBLAAoJEDgEuzPE0JQv88gH/3+eZ84Hx9/Gueel9oJzs+eK bVU7oIhFL6T0OJ5wzI6gP0aRFGLRSBfYKHB7D7xcLF8luwSvIFEDSJF6td1vqFz+ 8w0FkabSIza7l9xCgPI3tdt4nxRmHKGf53R6HZrXz5By7eB/XWQKRnD8mi516U6Z HzpPHhcjaWwsGnIObMP5GSIrf21JGGF1MqbD0Cf5uey5MFHomEXsNS5eHzxS/vLD KC53cCqP+nkC947JHDE8xvpH3HCzYOI9B9kvIGj5QgvE1EFNbBscntJLZJkp9xPe co1zjIm1I3UlFuTb8rGabUTGUezT9yRr2iagjiTTclHrnIoUvcyG1Q9FeV5BwEk= =T7nw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ icinga-users mailing list icinga-users@lists.icinga.org https://lists.icinga.org/mailman/listinfo/icinga-users
