[Nagios-users] Passive checks show "red" in tactical overview

2010-02-09 Thread David Krider
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
