Host name from IP address

[Ben Thomas]

So if you are not looking to write a script, just use ping -a <IP> in
windows and that will reverse dns the IP for you.  Then just do a ctl +
f in the config files.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Host name from IP address

Good morning,

I was curious if anyone knows a way to find out the hostname from the
hosts.cfg if I know the IP address.

For instance I have a program that I wrote that runs on switch 1 that
returns me an IP address of switch 2 and its status.  I would then like
the get the name from Nagios's configs for switch 2.  Is this possible,
without going through the entire hosts.cfg file?  If not, has anyone
else written something to do the similar function?

Thanks,

Michael
