<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am running Nagios with mostly passive services and nsca/send_nsca.
I have a service that gets triggered when an event occurs on a client machine,
and when the event happens, it passes two passive checks to Nagios, one to turn
the service to a Warning state and one to turn it to an OK state (to trigger
the event handler). It will always send in two checks, and they will
occur back to back. I have noticed that occasionally, it misses one of
the checks. Because it misses the check in, it fails to call the event
handler, which is the most important part. I log everything I send with
send_nsca, and it logs both checks. I don’t log passive service
checks, because this would result in such a large event log. Why does
this happen and what can I do to fix it? Here are some variables in my
nagios.cfg file:</span></font></p>
