Hi Andreas and thanks for the input. I have updated to 3.5.0. The NSCA is already at the current version. I turned on debugging to the maximum and found the following line in the nagios.debug file.

[Nagios-users] Passive checks are stalled despite freshness check set
Hi list,
I have a small problem with Nagios's service freshness checks. I'm
probably missing something but I don't see what.
I have created several passive checks, waiting for SNMP traps and
triggering CRITICAL states on reception. I set freshness threshold to
15min (900s) to reset the service to an OK state.
Here is my configuration:
define service {
...
check_commandreset_ok_state
max_checks_attempts1
passive_checks_enabled1
active_check_enabled0
freshness_threshold900
check_freshness1
...
}
define command {
command_name reset_ok_state
command line $USER1$/check_dummy 0 "Last alert received at `date -d
'1970-01-01 UTC + $LASTSERVICESTATECHANGE$ seconds'`"
}
Everything works fine for some days but, after a while, freshness stops
to be checked and I have to restart Nagios in order to trigger the
freshness check again. Then I get in the Nagios log that my service is
stale for several hours and that Nagios is scheduling an immediat check.
I'm running Nagios v3.2.3 on an Ubuntu server 11.04.
Does somebody already see a similar behaviour? Is there some flaw(s) in
my configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Marc-André

Re: [Nagios-users] Passive checks sent with send_nrdp.php not beingprocessed by nagios
We've been using NRDP here for months now. No concerns. Try adding a trailing / at the end of your URL. As an FYI I recently posted a perl client that acts as a dropin replacement for send_ncsa to make the transition easier for nsca shops, or for shops that don't have php on their monitored hosts. It has some features that we've needed in nsca that weren't originally present like sending to multiple hosts, and caching failed result sends for retry later. http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Passive-Checks/send_nrdp-Perl-Client/details From: Dan Sanville [mailto:dsanvi...@ll.mit.edu] Sent: 2011, September, 09 3:22 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Passive checks sent with send_nrdp.php not beingprocessed by nagios Good afternoon, I am trying to use NRDP, specifically send_nrdp.php from a nagios client system, to send passive checks to a nagios core server and no matter what I try nagios never receives my passive checks.

[Nagios-users] Passive checks show "red" in tactical overview
I have many services that are passively monitored. They have a check_command defined, but, like my SNMP trap catcher service, it only fires when it's time to check freshness. All these services show up as "X Services Disabled" in the "Active Checks" area of the tactical overview screen, as though this was a problem. However, this is normal, and I don't want to see any "red" areas on the overview. (I want _any_ red on that screen to mean, "PANIC!") Can anyone tell me how to make Nagios ignore this?

I have a backup monitoring script which simply sends Nagios (by
send_nsca) the amount of data which has been backed-up in the last 24
hours. If the script finds nothing, it doesn't send a check to Nagios
at all so I use freshness checking to alert that nothing has been
received from the backup check. The template I use for the service
checks looks like this:
define service {
name nsca-tsm_nightly_vol
is_volatile 1
check_freshness 1
active_checks_enabled 0
max_check_attempts1
freshness_threshold 129600 ; 36 hours
check_command check_nothing-tsm_nightly_vol
servicegroups backups
notification_options n
notes Volume of data backed-up to TSM
register 0
}
The command definition for "check_nothing-tsm_nightly_vol" looks like this:
# 'check_nothing-tsm_nightly_vol' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_nothing-tsm_nightly_vol
command_line$USER1$/passive_timeout.sh
And the /usr/local/nagios/libexec/passive_timeout.sh script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo "CRITICAL: No status has been received recently!
exit 2
I hope this helps a little.
cheers,
Jim

Only if you have a working host check_command. Active/passive services or number of services down makes no difference at all. When any service on a host fails, the host's check_command is run. If that returns a non-OK result, notifications for services on the host are suppressed until the host recovers and a single host notification is sent (if specified). If it returns an OK result (or isn't specified), notifications are not suppressed for services on that host. -- Marc -- ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
[Nagios-users] passive checks and host down alerts
Hello,
I have a service defined like this:
define service{
hostgroup_name hostgroup1
service_description it assistant trap
servicegroups it assistant trap
is_volatile 1
flap_detection_enabled 0
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
max_check_attempts 1
check_period24x7
check_command check_none
}
As you can see here, I have active checks disabled. However, in the
web interface, it is showing active checks as enabled.
1. why?
2. If I have a host that has 5 active check services and 1 passive
check service and all 5 of the active services goes down, will it
consider the host down and suppress those notifications and only send
the host down alert?
Thanks!

[Nagios-users] passive checks with business time notification
Hi, I want to monitor some night batch procedures. These procedures are executed each night. When the procedure finish, say to nagios passive service "OK". If an error occur the procedure catch the error and push it via a critical passive alert to nagios. So there have two thing to check every morning: - the application has been executed that night; - the application has finished with an OK status; I don't need "realtime" notification: I want to be notified of the error only in business time, not at 2 am...:) I thought about these features... - freshness can help me to check if the service status is stale for > 24hours - notification period will help me to be not notified in the night. This finally do not resolve the whole problem. I want to be notified of "this night" error on "this morning" and not tomorrow morning or tomorrow night. Do you have ideas?

[Nagios-users] passive checks and possible actions in case of stale information
Hi all, Reading through the docs about passive checks and the possible actions in case of stale information, it seems it is possible to turn on a "freshness" functionality so that after a certain timeout active checks are used instead. In my case this may not necessarily be feasible as the nodes to monitor are remote ones behind a firewall: is it possible instead to just trigger (email) an alarm when the information is found to be stale? I don't need much more as I can then ping the maintainers of the remote nodes about a possible problem Thanks in advance for any info you may provide Cheers Alessandro -- SWITCH Serving Swiss Universities -- Dr. Alessandro Usai P.O.

[Nagios-users] passive checks for non-24x7 hosts going stale outside check_period
I have a distributed set-up where the web interface server never does any checks. Freshness checking is enabled on the web interface server with a check command that will alert that the service/host is stale. Everything works fine except for those hosts that are not monitored 24x7. For example, services/hosts that are monitored 9am-5pm will be reported as stale every morning at 9am. The service/host goes stale on the active monitoring servers too, a service/host check will be forced, and the result will be sent to the web interface server at which point the web interface server is happy again. I would think that Nagios would not include time outside of the check_period when calculating how fresh a service/host is but that appears not to be the case. (Please correct me if I am wrong.)

Re: [Nagios-users] Passive checks.... Got It
When executing the submit_check_result, quotes need to be around the
trap name and plugin output. Like so...
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result
(servername) "Short term alloc failed" 1 "$3 requests for short term
memory could not be granted on server $1"
Nagios then recognized the command and changed the status and sent a
notification.
Kevin
>>> "Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/15/2007 11:40 AM >>>
Assuming this is Nagios 2.x, you don't have "active_checks_enabled 1"
in
your service definition (active checks are not enabled.)

[Nagios-users] Passive checks
Hi All...
I seem to have a problem with passive checks. When I look at the
Services Detail window in Nagios, all my passive checks are pending,
with a status of Service is not scheduled to be checked. I manually
submit a trap using the submit_check_result, the event shows in the log,
but the status doesn't change.
Here is what I submit :
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result
(servername) Short term alloc failed 1 $3 requests for short term memory
could not be granted on server $1
Below is an example of my service:
define service{
host_name (server name)
service_description Short term alloc failed
is_volatile 1
max_check_attempts 1
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval1
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_command check-host-alive
check_periodnone
notification_interval 31536000
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
contact_groups it-dept
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

If so, log into both Distributed and Central web interfaces and look at the results side by side. Yes... I've been pondering over this quite a bit! Then, try scheduling active checks through the web interface on the Distributed side. Done that... Are you using nsca to send the results from distributed to central? Is it configured out of inet on Central or running standalone? Yes, using nsca and configured out of inet. I've modified the script given in: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html so that it logs its actions into a file and found that it never *ever* sends a passive alert for anything other than my 'ping' checks, and even then only for some of them. I've been following the documentation quite closely. So are you certain you have on distributed: obsess_over_services=1 ocsp_command=obsessive_service_handler Then, pick a host on distributed and schedule service checks for all services on that host.

I've modified the script given in: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html so that it logs its actions into a file and found that it never *ever* sends a passive alert for anything other than my 'ping' checks, and even then only for some of them. I've been following the documentation quite closely. -- There is nothing more important to good government than good education. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

We have many service checks being run on a central, active, nagios server which has been configured with the obsessive compulsive whatsits and a passive nagios server, with a web interface, configured for passive checks. Many of the checks seem to work just fine, but some don't. I have some services on some hosts with the passive checks working while others don't work.

I've tried manually simulating sending passive alerts for the non-working services from the active server to the passive one from the commandline and this works fine. Any clues would be appreciated!
