switching a service to passive

[Anurag Gupta]

You may have already tried this. Still,

1)
Check if you have multiple nagios procs running.

2)
Try putting the following *explicitly* in the config file in the "define
service" directives:

define service {
...
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabeld 1
...
}

Your settings are being overridden in a derived config directive somewhere.

Subject: [Nagios-users] switching a service to passive


I've got a bunch of services that until today were set up as active
checks.  This afternoon I set them to passive (now they're being
dumped out of a database someplace) but nagios still insists on
scheduling the active checks.

I'm fairly sure this is because the check state has been saved via
state retention ... anybody know an easy fix?  Can I edit the
status.sav file and mark them as passive?

Solutions involving "remove the status.sav file and restart" or
"disabled retention for a while" are bad, because that means all the
stuff that's been acknowledged or whatever will repage.  With > 600
machines and 2000 services, that's a lot of bogus pages.
