The staff here is trained to keep an eye on the "Unhandled Problems" on the Tactical Overview page. Passive services do not appear in that view. The query shown is, for example:
Display Filters:
Host Status Types: Pending | Up
Host Properties: Any
Service Status Types: Critical
Service Properties: Not In Scheduled Downtime & Has Not Been Acknowledged & Active Checks Enabled
I think that the last part of the query "& Active Checks Enabled" is not such a useful interface for those of us that have devices that are only monitored passively, for example by SNMP traps.
I've found I can work around this to make passive-only service appear in the list like so, but I would be nice to get this changed:
define service{
use generic-service
name some_service
service_description Some service description
active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks are enabled
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are enabled/accepted
--> check_command check_dummy ; Just returns "OK"
normal_check_interval 60
notification_interval 60
max_check_attempts 1
retry_check_interval 1
notification_options w,c
--> check_period none ; "none" shown below....
servicegroups fw_logs
register 0
}
# 'none' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name none
alias No Time Is A Good Time
}
