Hi All,
I have a problem with Nagios related with the passive checks.
I'm using Nagios 1.2 and the situation is:
Sometimes Nagios receives the passive check but it does nothing with it,
as the following example from nagios.log :
"om nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;om;BILLING;0;BILLING stopped"
And Sometimes it does what it should do, as the following example from
nagios.log :
"om nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;om;BILLING;0;BILLING stopped"
"om nagios: SERVICE ALERT: om;BILLING;OK;HARD;1;BILLING stopped"
"om nagios: SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: om;BILLING;OK;HARD;1;myhandler"
The configurations for this service is that one:
"define service{
use generic-service
; Name of service template to use
host_name om
service_description BILLING
active_checks_enabled 0
check_period none
check_command check_dummy!0
}
"
And the general configuration for the services is this one:
"define service{
name generic-service ; The 'name' of
this service template
active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks
are enabled
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks
are enabled/accepted
parallelize_check 1 ; Active service checks
should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance
problems)
obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess over
this service (if necessary)
check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT
check service 'freshness'
notifications_enabled 0 ; Service notifications
are disabled
notification_options w,u,c,r
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler
is enabled
event_handler myhandler
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is
enabled
failure_prediction_enabled 1 ; Failure prediction is
enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance
data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status
information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval 1
max_check_attempts 1
check_period 24x7
contact_groups admins
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
"
Other relevant configuration from nagios.cfg:
check_external_commands=1
command_check_interval=-1
accept_passive_service_checks=1
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Regards All,
Miguel
