I'm a long-time user of Nagios with active checks. Today I started using
passive checks with NSCA and I'm having a problem.
The documentation states "A service must be defined in Nagios before you
can submit passive check results for it".
I defined a config block like this, to define a service for the Oracle
service that I want to monitor passively - omitting the check_command
directive.
define service {
service_description Oracle
host_name oddjob.resnet.bris.ac.uk
use resnet-service
}
But running nagios -v gives this output:
Error: Service description, host name, or check command is NULL
Error: Could not register service (config file
'/etc/nagios/nagios_service.cfg', starting on line 8618)
Error processing object config files!
So what's the approved way of defining a service without specifying a
command for active checks?
Thanks,
Jonathan
