ACS Appliance does not respond to ping

[jcowtan]

We have installed an ACS server 3.3. We are able to HTTP to it, and have it ping other devices on the network.

BUT we wish to monitor the device for availability and are using a management program that uses ping's to determine device status. This does not work against the ACS.

Is there a problem with ACS or how can we get it to reply to pings.

I believe the recent versions of the ACS have the Cisco CSA agent enabled which denies ping requests. You can turn it off but I can't remember exactly how.
