nsca and passive checks

I am trying to set up a passive check and am having trouble with the
services.cfg and checkcommands.cfg
I found a sample services.cfg, but it seems to be for the older version of
nagios and throws errors when I run nagios -v
It seems nagios insists I have settings for max_check_attempts,
check_interval and retry_interval which does seem odd for a passive only
check.
So far in services.cfg I have:
-----------------------------------
# HTTP 500 Errors
define service{
host_name rh2
service_description HTTP 500 Errors
is_volatile 1
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
max_check_attempts 1
contact_groups linux-admins,411vm
notification_interval 240
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c
check_period 24x7
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval 1
check_command check_none
}
-----------------------------------
I define the check_interval to prevent warnings at startup.
in checkcommands.cfg I define check_none (not sure if this is the right way
to do this):
-----------------------------------
# 'check_none' command definition
define command{
command_name check_none
command_line /bin/echo ""
}
-----------------------------------
I am successfully sending the packet to the nagios server with:
echo -e "rh2;HTTP 500\t0\ttoo many errors test (OK)"| send_nsca -H nagios
but, I get errors in the nagios.log:
--------------------------
[1092235996] Warning: Unrecognized external command ->
PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT;rh2;HTTP 500;0;too many errors test (OK)
Any ideas out there?
All The Best,
