That's probably not completely true, because the config files
allow you to<br>
specify IP addresses, if so desired. If IPv6 aware, these
should, at least,be<br>
parsed correctly ?<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
In fact no. Like Andreas said, Nagios do not even understand
what an IP is. It's just a string for it to be pass to plugins
as a macro (still a string). It will not parse it.<br>

But it's good to have another address6 attribute in the host object
in order to assign 2 addresses, use them via macros and not to
depend on custom variables.<br>
<br>
the patch on nagios exchange applies rather clean to nagios
upstream. i've tried that myself whilst patching it into icinga,
whereas the ipv6 support is happening thanks to that patch, with
some slight enhancements to classicui and idoutils, but breaking the
abi for other modules using host objects. but i can live with that,
having the possibility of easy to use dualstacked monitoring like
described here in the common ipv6 approach:
