"pure" passive checks and nagios web interface

[Stefan Giesen]

Hi,

is there a possibility to tell the Nagios webinterface (V1.2 on Debian
woody) that a service is pure "passive", so it's perfectly OK for it to
have active checks disabled?

It's annoying if you've always something red on the Tactical Overview
page (Active checks: "34 services disabled") and additionally something
pink below "Services" ("34 services disabled") and something red on the
service page itself ("Active checks: disabled").

These services can't even be checked actively (it's a complete SMTP
Roundtrip check which submits the passive result when it receives an
eMail and is checked for freshness to determine the status of the
service, so the check_command is set to a dummy which always returns a
critical "No eMails received in X hours" result), so if I enalbe active
checks, it would be instantly red...

It would be great if the webinterface could be told to ignore passive
only checks for the "active checks" column/field display.

Has anyone a solution for this?

Cheers,
Stefan
