Force Hard State with Passive Checks

[Sapon, Dimitry]

I was thinking of doing that also but just wanted to know if there was a
more "graceful" way of approaching this problem.

To answer the other question that came in, yes both active and passive
checks are used on these services so the is_volatile is not an option.

If anyone is aware of any other ways...please feel free to share.
Thanks.

There's no way to bypass or modify max_check_attempts on the fly,
whatever you set it to is the requirement. I would approach it by
submitting multiple, sequential passive results sufficient to put it
over max_check_attempts. If you're writing a script to do it, you should
look at the Developer documentation on external commands.
