Check modulations

How check modulations works

Depending on your configuration you may want to change the check_command during the night. For example, you want to send more packets for a ping during the night because there is less network activity so that you can get more accurate data.

How to define a check_modulation

define checkmodulation{
  checkmodulation_name     ping_night
  check_command            check_ping_night
  check_period             night
}



define host{
  check_command                  check_ping
  check_period                   24x7
  host_name                      localhost
  use                            generic-host
  checkmodulations               ping_night
}

Here check_ping will be modulated into check_ping_night for the host localhost.
