passive check for check-host-alive

[Tedman Eng]

Nagios 1.x doesn't support passive host checks, but you can use nrpe to
launch an active host check via the remote nagios server as a possible
workaround.  Others may have alternate methods.

Subject: [Nagios-users] passive check for check-host-alive


Dear all,

I could not find in the documentation how to send passive checks for the
actual hosts.

I managed to do passive checks for services, but the host itself shows DOWN,
since 
it can not be reached from the primary monitoring server.

Any help appreciated.
