Hi there,

I've been using nagios for quite some time, but never used passive checks or distributed monitoring.

I've come across a very strange situation.
[big snip]
Any clues would be appreciated!


Are you running the web interface on the distributed Nagios sites? If so, log into both Distributed and Central web interfaces and look at the results side by side.

Yes... I've been pondering over this quite a bit!

Then, try scheduling active checks through the web interface on the Distributed side.

Done that...

Are you using nsca to send the results from distributed to central? Is it configured out of inet on Central or running standalone?

Yes, using nsca and configured out of inet.

I've modified the script given in:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html

so that it logs its actions into a file and found that it never *ever* sends a passive alert for anything other than my 'ping' checks, and even then only for some of them.

I've been following the documentation quite closely.
So are you certain you have on distributed:

obsess_over_services=1
ocsp_command=obsessive_service_handler

Then, pick a host on distributed and schedule service checks for all services on that host. Watch the logs on distribued and central to see what is happening.
