All,

      I've got a problem with one of the service I'm monitoring.

      This service can be checked with SNMP queries so I wrote a little
script that works perfectly and I set active_checks_enabled to 1. Up to
that point everything is working.

      But this service can also send SNMP traps. so I installed the
net-snmp package and configured everything as specified in the Nagios
documentation. If I enable passive_checks_enabled, and disable
active_checks_enabled, the traps are received and displayed correctly by
nagios...

      The problem is that I would like both passive and active checks for
that service and whenever I activate both of them, everything is fine (ie
the service is OK) until the first trap arrive. This trap should normally
put the service in critical state but unfortunately the web interface
displays it as Pending until the next active check... do you now why ?

here is the config for this service :

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        hostgroup_name                  test_cluster
        service_description             test cluster
        check_period                    24x7
        is_volatile                     1
        active_checks_enabled           1
        passive_checks_enabled          1
        max_check_attempts              1
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admin-grp
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command
check_lsf_cluster!/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceclustertest.cfg!50!70
}
