Ping 'n Traceroute for IPv6 & IPv4

Hey @Heavy,
thanks for your reply. But I don’t get it.

Let’s start with ping. I want to generate ping graphs for each host, pinging the hostname via IPv4 and IPv6. My configured hostnames in checkmk are always real FQDNs with an A and an AAAA record.

  1. Using no parameters at all:


    simply pings the IPv4 address (while IPv6 should always be preferred, shouldn’t it? The folder for this host is “IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack”.)

  2. Using the “ping all IPvX addresses”:


    is not working:

  3. Same for “additional IPvX addresses”:


    Results in:

  4. Same for “IPvX address identified by its index”:


    Results in:

So how should I configure some rules to ping both Internet Protocols without setting the IP addresses for every single host manually? :thinking:
