<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We use Opsview in our environment, with distributed pollers
that are separate from the master server, where the UI lives. So from the
master’s perspective, all service checks are passive checks, because they
are reported in by the poller servers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>As a result, we aren’t getting any service alert sounds
on status.cgi because the logic checks servicestatus->checks_enabled and
ignores servicestatus->accept_passive_service_checks<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am not sure if that was by design or not. But I’ve
patched cgi/status.c to also play sounds for alerts generated by passive
service checks as well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>All I did was update the logic to
check (servicestatus->checks_enabled==TRUE || servicestatus->accept_passive_service_checks==TRUE)
instead of just the first one.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’ve submitted this patch to the Opsview community,
and am also posting it here in case there is interest in integrating it into
upstream Nagios.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The patch is against Nagios 2.9, which is a bit old.
But I looked at the latest code in CVS and I think the patch will work there,
too.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
