Hi,
I followed these instructions to check internet connection:
I set up a host with 2 IP addresses:
Those 2 IP addresses are from Root-Nameserver – Wikipedia so I assume they will be always available. ICMP works on them
The checked worked for couple of minutes an then suddenly the status went down
Both IP addressses are working fine and respond to icmp when checked via manual ping
Any idea what is going wrong?
PLEASE can anyone let me insert more than 1 picture in one post?
The most important thing is missing. How does your defined ping service looks like?
If there is a problem you should see it inside the ping.
“Check host with ping” as shown in the above screenshot is not sufficient?
Hi,
which release and version of Checkmk do you use? Open Source or Enterprise? Patch-Level?

The output of your ping check is relevant not the definition of the service.
I am using the Raw Edition
OMD - Open Monitoring Distribution Version 2.0.0p15.cre
You see something on your ping check is wrong. It is in unknown state and complains about some variable it cannot resolve. If you click on this check you will see at the bottom the complete command line with all arguments.
It is showing this
Service check command check_mk_active-icmp!-m 1 -w 200.00,80% -c 500.00,100% $HOST_ADDRESSES_4$ $HOST_ADDRESS_4$
Any further help would be appriciated
Hi,
there has been a bug in the Raw Edition when pinging multiple hosts. I thought that the bug has been fixed already?!?

Hi,
I removed additional IP addresses but error persists.
Hi,
that looks like a bug in the Raw edition (I get the same error with your settings). Your settings work fine in the Enterprise Edition.
