Martin Thanks! This does exactly what I was hoping for. It seems so obvious now, yet is something I didn't even consider doing!
Thanks for your input, you've saved me a lot of time. Cheers, Kris From: Martin Melin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 October 2009 09:54 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Service Definition for Passive Only Reports Are you using freshness checking? If not, try creating a time period "never" so that the active check is never scheduled. Otherwise you usually just want to set active_checks_enabled to 0 but I guess you don't want the CGIs to show that the checks are disabled?

Cheers, Kris -----Original Message----- From: Getchell, Kristoffer M [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 October 2009 00:16 To: [email protected] Subject: [Nagios-users] Service Definition for Passive Only Reports We have a number of service which I don't want Nagios to actively monitor, instead Nagios will be updated by passive alerts which are generated by the service itself. I've currently got a service definition setup, but haven't figured out how to get the service to not have an active check associated with it without any warnings being issued in the tactical overview page. At the moment what i've done is setup an active check that does nothing and set a long between times check. However, this isn't ideal. Has anyone else setup a passive only service and managed to get the tactical overivew interface to not complain about active checks not being enabled on a specific host/service?
