Distributed checking

[Jason Burnett]

o.k. I am using the distributed method with passive checks to monitor
some hosts I have behind a firewall that I dont want to punch holes in.
For some reason my central nagios server keeps running active checks on
the hosts even though I have that disabled on a per service instance. So
I end up with the service up when it gets the info via the passive tests
then it goes critical when the central server tries to check it with an
active test. Here is the service config from the central server:

define service{
    host_name           pinky
    service_description     SSH
    check_command           check_ssh
    max_check_attempts      2
    normal_check_interval       5
    retry_check_interval        5
    passive_checks_enabled      1
    active_checks_enabled       0
    check_period            24x7
    flap_detection_enabled      1
    process_perf_data       1
    retain_status_information   1
    retain_nonstatus_information    1
    notification_interval       1
    notification_period     24x7
    notification_options        w,u,c,r
    notifications_enabled       1
    check_freshness         1
    freshness_threshold     180
    contact_groups          admins
}
