[Nagios-users] Active Checks Issue - Still run even when disabled
Hi, VER:Nagios 2.8 Just had another unexpected issue come up. I clicked on one of my hosts and set Enable notifications on all services for this host. Now even if in the service template definition active checks are disabled for some/all of those services, active checks still run. At first I thought it wasn't getting the new values, but I checked the table in the View Config option for those services and the active checks column shows no. Seems like Nagios has another place it stores a value that enabled active checks of all services on that host. It also seems that this value overrides what's defined in the services.cfg definitions. Anyone experience/solve this before? What was the solution? Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] Active Checks Issue - Still run even when disabled
usually when this kind of weirdness is going on you have separate 2 instances of nagios running, perhaps one has checks disabled but the other has checks enabled. I would close all nagios instances and start a new one and see if the problem persists. beyond that I would suspect a bug. I am running 2.5 so I wouldn't know about 2.8. -h Hari Sekhon Sapon, Dimitry wrote: Hi, VER:Nagios 2.8 Just had another unexpected issue come up.

Re: [Nagios-users] Active Checks Issue - Still run even when disabled
Ok, just in case anyone come across the same thing, it seems like it is a bug. I'll state it here but also, where do I log such bugs so that the developers are aware of them? What I had to do to temporarily alleviate the problem was to comment out any definition that used or had anythign to do with that host (services, servicegroups, hostgroups etc). I then restarted Nagios and let it run for a bit to clear out any possible caching of values. I then uncommented those defitions back and the problem was gone. It seems like if you globally enable active services checks for a host through the Enable notifications on all services for this host option on the host's page, it stores the value somewhere and it always overrides the template definitions. There is no reset to default option on the page, only enable/disable which either turn on/off globally. Anyways, hope this helps future people who run into this. If anyone could point me to the webpage to log this bug, I'll do so also.
