Hi, I installed nagios4-4.1.1_5,1 on a FreeBSD 10.3 jail. (It's my first time with Nagios) I managed the core to show up as working, and the system now lists its first host (the one it is installed on) -- as DOWN. Small wander, because the way it checks this is by pinging "localhost" (/sbin/ping -n -c 5 127.0.0.1 ), although ping is disabled in my jail (as per default), and its localhost address is changed to 127.0.0.3. How can I correct this checking? I found there is a script for checking FreeBSD jails (https://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=1859&cf_id=24) but, again, I can't find any hint of how to use it or whether it can help me at all. Will I be able to check services on jails of other machines? Thanks for any advice, -Alnis
