the IP performing the ping is already added to the .allow/.ignore list but I was still getting the emails, but after changing the icmp_in_rate I didnt receive any

I cant find where to exclude an ip/cidr for icmp_in in csf, looks like it has to be global.

Thanks

ping is allowed and I tried that using several sites

I just checked csf and noticed "ICMP_IN_RATE = "1/s"

have disabled it now "ICMP_IN_RATE = "0", maybe thats whats preventing the monitoring system from pinging the server

Thanks

I'm assume you've allowed the monitoring system to ping the server? (clutching at straws, said the scarecrow)

Never, the server is functioning normally, its just these emails which is annoying and I dont want to turn off the monitoring since it is important

Thanks

Greetings

I'm getting many email notifications every day about "defect on server ..." and just a minute later I receive another message saying "end of defect"!!

I contacted the support team and they recommended rebooting in rescue mode and test the hardware, did that and found no errors, and the server is working ok.

OS:centos 6.6 with cpanel & csf
SBG1


hope someone can help.

TIA.
