[Sebastian Schubert]

on behalf of lars michelsen, who can't post to this mailinglist *g*

> Hi,
> i'm a developer of NagVis, in the actual version we have a problem
> with reading host/service states from NDO. We filter the objects with
> the flag is_active. Actualy we are not sure what the flag is used for,
> we gues it's to hold objects for historical informations in the DB.
> I just had a look at NDO-1.4b2 sources (dbhandlers.c).
> 
> It looks like all objects in NDO are first set to is_active=0
> (function: ndo2db_set_object_as_inactive()).
> 
> Then the up to date objects will be updated/created (Function:
> ndo2db_handle_<objekt>definition). In this process all objects expect
> services and hosts run the function ndo2db_set_object_as_active() to
> set the objects to is_active=1.
> 
> Maybe it's a bug? Maybe not. I just had a short look at the sources.
> 
> If this is no bug, could anyone please explain what the flag is_active
> stands for and in which cases it's used?
