>I am actually testing a few nagios configs for my setup..

>Some of my ISP's are blocking traceroute/pings on their net, 
causing the check_ping utility to fail.

>Here is an exemple of what a ping to those servers return:
>36 bytes from somerouter.someisp.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): 
Communication prohibited by filter

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

>At the moment, i only declare those routers without any default 
checks (in hosts.cfg), nor services checks (services.cfg)..
>It results that on my statusmaps, those hosts are shown 
RED/FAULTY..
>I also disabled the notification for those hosts so i'm not 
anoyed by messages telling me the hosts are down..

>My question is the following, would their be a way to make those 
hosts i cannot ping nor access any open ports,
>to be shown as GREEN/OK hosts on my statusmaps ?
>Maybe another plugin that would recognize those messages, and 
make the routers status as OK ?
