Trouble disabling PING

Troubleshooting

Dear Both,
Many thanks for your replies; it helped me look in the right places to achieve what I want.

What I ended up doing was

  1. Add a Label to my hosts via the folder (using inheritance) with a value of “Host:NoPing”

  2. Setup>Hosts>Host monitoring rules>Host Check Command
    Define a new check rule with “Assume host is always up” and add condition of label has “Host:NoPing”

  3. Setup>Services>HTTP, TCP, Email, …>Check hosts with PING (ICMP Echo Request)
    Set the rule “Check All hosts with ping” to have a “not has” “Host:NoPing” condition.

This resulted in the hosts in my folder only displaying the “check_ssl_cert” rule I have defined, exactly as I wanted.

All the best
Dan
