Icinga2 Ping Hostalive - To reduce Noise

Hi Team ,
Ours is windows workshop & we are receiving all the time with Hostalive alerts. & we are not able figure out which one is critical & which one is not… For windows i see RTA is sometime huge & sometime not… Whenever RTA is more I do see alert & but actually there are no issues with those servers…

I would like to understand the best practice for windows boxes & how to configure hostalive check correct?

Can you please advise on this?

***** Service Monitoring on SLC-ICINGA2-01.nicholas.int *****

hostalive on aws-ps-01.NICHOLASANDCO.AWS is CRITICAL!

Info: PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 252.74 ms

When: 2020-05-10 13:44:32 -0600
Service: hostalive
Host: ******************************
IPv4: ******************************

Please ignore this… i understood & this is resolved

Hello there!

Did you mean to withdraw the whole post?
Or does the original question still stand?

Have a nice day

Yeah… i was not able to withdraw my original post… Actually i have been using the ping4 for both ping & hostalive check… didn’t realize we have hostalive check with 5000ms default RTA… i had to update replace ping4 with hostalive to get the correct metric.

I am happy to take any suggestions from you
thanks,
Mani

Hello,

you should be able to withdraw any post you make, try clicking the three dots under your post, there should be the option :slight_smile:

When it comes to the correct metrics, it’s hard to tell what you need, without more information about what you want :slight_smile:
It’s a very individual decision…

Have a nice day,
