Disable check-host-alive for certain hosts

[Bergström Sebastian]

We use Nagios v.1.2 and monitors some remote Firewalls (among others). The Firewalls does not reply on ICMP (which makes check-host-alive useless). Our current check implementation is to ensure that the SSH daemon runs on the Firewalls. When the SSH daemon does not respond for whatever reason, check-host-alive kicks in and that results in a Host down alert (since the Firewalls does not respond on ICMP).

How can I force Nagios to only rely on the SSH service check?

Any thoughts or ideas are deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance!


Best regards,
