This isn't a bug, but it is confusing, especially since I haven't
started on the NEB documentation yet. For active checks, you should
be getting two callbacks for each check. For passive checks, you get
only one.
The key is to check the .type member of the data structure that is
passed to the callback function.
If type==NEBTYPE_SERVICECHECK_INITIATE, the service check has just
been initated (only for active checks). This event is usually only
useful if you want to track when a service checks gets executed.
If type==NEBTYPE_SERVICECHECK_PROCESSED, the data contains the
processed results of the service check. This is probably what you're
interested in.
Hope that helps.
