How to : OK if Host Down, Crit if Host up

Hello Karl, thanks for your time.

I tried this but the VM strayed “Down”.

However, I found a solution (not in production, but I am confident).

On the Check_mk server, I will create a script like this:

#!/bin/bash 

if ping -c 1 192.168.1.2 &> /dev/null
then
        status="2"
        statustxt="Warning ! VM is UP"
else
        status="0"
        statustxt="It's OK, VM is Down"
fi
echo "$status check_status_VM - $statustxt"

I will have:

$ ./test_ping.sh 
0 check_status_VM - It"s OK, VM is Down

$ ./test_ping.sh 
2 check_status_VM - Warning ! VM is UP

If I move it on /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local

And “normaly” my Check_mk Server will show a probleme if the VM is UP ^^
