[Check_mk (english)] Add Ping Service

Hi, I have a simple issue with check_mk.

I need to check constantly the conexion of many host by ping, but I dont know how to add this service. The service I need is the same that appears when you dont use any agent and check_mk only monitors ping.

Thanks.

There's an Active check 'Check hosts with PING (ICMP Echo Request)'.
Is that what you are looking for?
Or you could just put the hosts in a folder and set the Folder Properties
host tag for Agent type to 'No Agent'.

Hi, Jam

I cant use 'No agent' because I need others checks too. How can I use the active check you told me about?

Thanks!

Or create the rule in the Main directory and all hosts will pick up the rule (if that is what you need).

WATO-Configuration -> Host & Service Parameters -> Active checks -> Check hosts with PING (ICMP Echo Request) -> Create rule in folder:

Thanks! The rule in the Main directory works perfect for me!

As a side note, your host check is likely using PING.
