Re: [Nagios-users] Defining passive checks
Hello Jonathan,
I think that you must put
define service {
service_description Oracle
host_name oddjob.resnet.bris.ac.uk
use resnet-service
max_check_attempts 1
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 86400
check_command check_dummy!1 "no news since 24h"
}
=> The check_dummy command will run if no passive check has been received
within 24 hours (86400seconds) and display warnig alert (1) and info status
"no news since 24h"

Mohamed

Objet : [Nagios-users] Defining passive checks
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

The approved way is that you can't because it remains a >service<
definition, however the command
can be dummy , although it must be defined.
The command definition however is obliviated by using :
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
Sometimes for check_command check-host-alive is being used, this avoids
long outstaniding stale data
for the specific passive service definition.
