Active Checks Issue - Still run even when disabled

[Sapon, Dimitry]

Ok, just in case anyone come across the same thing, it seems like it is a bug. I'll state it here but also, where do I log such bugs so that the developers are aware of them?

What I had to do to temporarily alleviate the problem was to comment out any definition that used or had anythign to do with that host (services, servicegroups, hostgroups etc). I then restarted Nagios and let it run for a bit to "clear out" any possible caching of values. I then uncommented those defitions back and the problem was gone.

It seems like if you globally enable active services checks for a host through the "Enable notifications on all services for this host" option on the host's page, it stores the value somewhere and it always overrides the template definitions. There is no reset to default option on the page, only enable/disable which either turn on/off globally.

Anyways, hope this helps future people who run into this. 

If anyone could point me to the webpage to log this bug, I'll do so also.

Regards,
Dimitry

usually when this kind of weirdness is going on you have separate 2 instances of nagios running, perhaps one has checks disabled but the other has checks enabled.

I would close all nagios instances and start a new one and see if the problem persists.

beyond that I would suspect a bug. I am running 2.5 so I wouldn't know about 2.8.
