You're confusing an o{h.s}cp command and script with a script used for
event handlers which are a totally different story here.
- o{h.s}cp scripts are used to send passive checkresults via send_nsca
to the remote master. so the docs are right about that and only do tell
you that.
- the eventhandler script is used in a different context. Like
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/eventhandlers.html#serviceexample
unveils, eventhandlers are triggered on state changes. While you cannot
only restart your httpd server, you may also just re-send a new
checkresult based on the current state. that's reasonable for a check
triggering an alarm once and being reset to the ok state afterwards. or
any other possible use case - users have plenty of ideas how to use that
one.
i for myself use that script to test icinga 2, and force trigger events
based on incoming checkresults. Though, i've revamped the original
script a bit for icinga 2 using getopts and other stuff required for
proper operations (find it in tools/scripts/process_check_result)
You should follow the docs, and use the provided sample over there
including nsca. and while at it, you may consider nsca-ng as alternative
to nsca.
