something instead of ping.

[Marc Powell]

Additionally, it's a simple matter to create an access-list on a router that specifically allows ICMP from a source host or network (i.e. your monitoring servers) while denying it from everywhere else.

I think this is a question more suited for your networking dept.  You can use any tcp port with the check_tcp plugin.  You just have to know which ports are open in your network...

Subject: [Nagios-users] something instead of ping.
can someone tell me if there is a way to check the state of a host with something like ping that will work on all ip hosts.  I am unable to use ping as our routers will not allow ping to operate due to Nachi virus filtering.
 
many thanks
 
Brad.
