Passive checks, freshness and notification.

Hey,
It seems like you never check this service,
Cause check_period is set to "none".
Plus, you should add this line to my-service :
Register no, because it's a template.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Passive checks, freshness and notification.
Hi all,
I have a problem getting passive check notification working after I had
set
it up for the first time. I could see the SERVICE ALERT in nagios.log
from
the passive check but no SERVICE NOTIFICATIONS. The only way I could get
it
working was to enable check_freshness. Then the notifications started.
So my
configuration looked as below:
define service{
name my-service
active_checks_enabled no
passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 86400
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
register 0
is_volatile 0
check_period none
max_check_attempts 1
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups some-group
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,c,r
}
define service{
use my-service ; template
host_name myhost
service_description interface1
check_command check_ifoperstatus!35
}
Today just over 24 hours after I got it working (note the
freshness_threshold) it has stopped working. If I turn check_freshness
off
it now works, when it originally wouldn't work with check_freshness off.
So, I need to understand what I am doing wrong in configuring passive
checks. Any ideas what's wrong with the configuration?
Thanks,
Jim
