Hey everyone,
New guy here… wondering if I could get some help on a situation;
So we use check_mk to monitor our URLs.
The URL Check and SSL expiration check are working perfectly fine.
This hostname is a public address and it does not accept ping, not only by policy but also by customer requirement.
So the hostname is always showing up as “down” but its services are up.
Is there a way to change the ping for this specific host to do a port check on tcp/443 instead?
Hey sentiblue,
of course this is possible. You can use TCP Port checks as “Host check command” or aswell the status of other services for that host. If you already have a http service check for that host, that would be the best way.
Just create the “Host Check Command” rule for that host and specify your needs:
Cheers,

Wow!! I never thought I’d get a reply so quickly!
I’ve just applied the recommended solution, not using an existing service but just binding to port 443.
It works flawlessly… Thank you so much!!!
