Hello, When using passive checks, you *should* do the following: define service { name generic-passive-service ; active_checks_enabled 0 ; Active service checks are enabled passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are enabled/accepted parallelize_check 1 ; obsess_over_service 1 ; check_freshness 1 ; Default is to NOT check service 'freshness' freshness_threshold 660 is_volatile 0 notifications_enabled 1 ; Service notifications are enabled event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler is enabled flap_detection_enabled 0 ; Flap detection is enabled process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data retain_status_information 0 ; Retain status information across program restarts retain_nonstatus_information 0 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE! check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 2 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r } Notice in particular check_freshness and freshness_threshold! Now on a service you have: define service { use generic-passive-service host_name fubar service_description Load is_volatile 0 check_command check-passive } Notice check_command? define command { command_name check-passive command_line $USER1$/check_dummy 2 "No status update" } Helpful, though sparse, hints? :D Rui Ter, 2008-01-08 às 16:48 +0000, Jaime Ventura escreveu: > Hello. > I have a system checking its own services and sending them to a > nagios server(passive checks). > But that system stopped sending results to the nagios server.
