Check_dummy or check_ping might be a good one. As long as you either have active_checks_enabled set to 0 or the check_period set to none, it'll never get executed. It does need to match a valid command definition though. The preferred way of doing it would be to create a comand definition that somwhat resembles the check you are doing but that's mostly for human readability, IMHO. -- Marc -----Original Message----- From: Peter Hicks <petong@jah.net> To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Fri Oct 03 17:52:56 2003 Subject: [Nagios-users] defining passive services Hello all, I have a question regarding the configuration of passive alerts. I have nsca set up to receive alerts from lrrd, and this seems to be working fine. It appears that nsca is passing these alerts on to nagios. My question is how to properly define a service to accept these passive alerts. The service in question that I am monitoring is cpu usage. When cpu usage exceeds 90%, an alert is sent out. I have passive_checks_enabled in service.cfg, but each service definition needs a check_command by default. What do I need to do to get this last bit working? Thanks! -Peter ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. <A HREF="http://thinkgeek.com/sf">http://thinkgeek.com/sf</A> _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <A HREF="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</A> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null </BODY> </HTML>
