I've always liked the fact that Nagios is very flexible in many areas, but this particular scenario I consider a bug:
 
I have a check that I want to be passive, the check_command portion is set to simply exit with the appropiate code.
 
But in the GUI, a user can select this service, then "enable active checks of this service"
This then caused me big problem, that the service showing warnings then was not actually in warning but was
forced to execute the check_command.
 
In my mind there ought to be a more strict parameter for a check, an actual "check_type"
You could have active, passive, both.
 
But then if a check is clearly defined as active, then never allow the web/cgi to then "enable passive checks".
 
 
 
Bottom line, I see this as an error , allowing the web interface to enable checks , that are not desired to run.
