event handler enabled in config, not enabled in reality

Hi there. I just started using nagios. I have one Axis
2100 network camera that crashes and needs to be rebooted
about 6 times per day. Therefore:
define command {
command_name camera-event
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers/camera $SERVICESTATE$
}
define service{
name generic-service2
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1 ; <= note
flap_detection_enabled 0
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
contact_groups skunks-admins
register 0
}
define service{
use generic-service2
host_name eye
service_description HTTP
event_handler camera-event ; <= note
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_http_url!/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
}
enable_event_handlers=1
So, you can see that I've tried to set this up. The problem is,
when I start nagios, the eye/HTTP service shows up with the envent
handler disabled. I have to enable it with a command at runtime.
[1044663511] EXTERNAL COMMAND: ENABLE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER;eye;HTTP
I can see later that it did run:
[1044669735] SERVICE ALERT: eye;HTTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;Socket timeout after 10 seconds
[1044669735] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: eye;HTTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;camera-event
[1044669785] SERVICE ALERT: eye;HTTP;OK;SOFT;2;HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 200 OK - 4 second response time
[1044669785] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: eye;HTTP;OK;SOFT;2;camera-event
What a piece of crap that camera is....
Anyway, what is wrong with my config file? I would like the event
handler to be enabled at startup. I don't want to have to fool with
it at runtime.
BTW, I am using Nagios from Debian unstable distribution, package
version 1.0-5.

jwb
