Hey there,
I would like to monitor some workstations to get the SMART status and some other things. Is it possible to disable the UP/DOWN checks for the host and all services?
Because of couse the system will be unavailable (notebook are mobile. 
) or offline (powered off at night).
Regards
Christian
Hi @perryflynn,
there are some rules to manipulate the state of hosts and services to assume them always up. One of them are called host/service state translation. Just check them if they fit your needs.
Hi, could it be that this rule is only available in the Enterprise Edition? I run 2.0 raw as it is just a private hobby/playground installation.
Shouldnât be. I merged the two rule names to one. Just search for host state translation and service state translation.
Nope. Searching for âtranslationâ in the rules only shows two other rules.
The explicit name returns a empty list.
The Werk 5532 is not in the changelog list either.
Hi @perryflynn,
You can use the rule âHost check commandâ with the setting âAlways assume host to be upâ for hosts that are frequently not reachable. Then, as the setting states, checkmk will always assume the host to be up, whether or not the host is actually reachable via the network and you wonât get any UP/DOWN events.
Cheers,
Lorenz
