Hi Martin,
Sure I have attached the monitrc file here. Yes sure the host was down
(VPS virtual network dropped), i've tried several known-dead IP's with
the same result, hopefully something silly i've done in the config
Thanks for your help
Derek

This is very strange - monit ICMP echo (ping) check tests unique

false positive response.
Are you sure that the host was down at the time when monit icmp
echo test succeeded? Can you provide monit configuration from the host
which reported false positive?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi All,
First of all great work monit has come in very handy in our environment.
Just found a server had gone offline in our environment today and we
did not get an alert. We only had an ICMP 'check host' for it's IP in
this case, the networking failed and it slipped through our monitoring.
I can't seem to see why and I can recreate the issue with other
IP's/networks, can any one comment or see an issue with the below?
check host xx.xx.xx.xx with address xx.xx.xx.xx
if failed icmp type echo with timeout 4 seconds then alert
/usr/sbin/monit -V
This is monit version 4.10.1
Debian Lenny 5.0 and the standard repository package
I can appreciate there may be other variables involved that could cause
this but it seems to be the only check monit performs that I have seen
get missed like this.
Your help is much appreciated
Thanks
Derek
