compatibility with V6

[prabhu.anandh at wipro.com]

Hi Mike,
I appreciate your help.But the status shows me that It is in critical
state.this is what I exactly get

ipv63  PING  CRITICAL 02-26-2004 10:55:24 0d 0h 2m 53s 1/3  PING
CRITICAL - Host not found (xxxx::xxx:xx:xx:xxx:xxx)  

To be precise,I am running nagios in dual stack(v4/v6).and I am able to
ping6 from both host.

Since for v6 we have to use ping6, do we have to make some changes in
the service.cfg and checkcommands.cfg and by adding new service like
PING_6. then I am only able to ping6 using that -I ethX option.if we
have to include this,please help me how to include.

Thanks in advance.
 
regards,
Prabhu Anandh S.

Yes, you can monitor IPv6 hosts with Nagios 1.2, I do.  I have had
success using hostnames as well as IPv6 addresses.  As an example, here
is what the 'address' line for one of my peers looks like (this is
within the 'define host{}' region):

address		3ffe:c00:8023:38::1

You do not have to wrap the address in [] to make it work.  If you have
AAAA records set up for those hosts, then I would just put the hostnames
in the file and let DNS do the rest.  I am not authoritative for the
above listed /64, so I used the address instead.

I hope this helps you!
