Nagios dropping ICMP packets
- by Ankh2054
I am running a Nagios server on vmware 4.0 and every now and again during the day it alerts that some of servers cannot be reached via ICMP, clearly staging that a certain percentage of packets send are lost. This does not happen to all servers.
I know the servers are actually up, because I have done a parallel test from another windows box, just using simple ping and no packets were lost. I also now from the way we monitor out switch that no packets were lost on those particular ports.
Could anyone suggest a way to troubelshoot this further ? AT present this points to the nagios server itself loosing packets.
thanks
