passive check configuration problems

[Peter Hicks]

Hi list,

I am having some trouble getting passive alerts working properly. My
setup consists of lrrd sending notifications to nsca daemon. This part
works correctly. Originally I would see the alert come through the
nagios log, but would not receive a notification. I now receive a
notification, but it does not contain the proper information. (see
below). Could someone point out what I have incorrectly set up in my
service configuration? (also below) I am looking to have the alerts
return the proper status information, and I am curious as to why nagios
reports that the service can not be found.

Thanks for the help.

This is from daemon.log:
Nov 21 12:56:05 zero nsca[16130]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name:
'xxx.xxxxx.xxx', Service Description: 'qmail_mailq: mails', Return
Code: '1', Output: 'Value is 746.92. Warning range (:700) exceeded'

------------------------
This is from nagios.log:

[1069447925] Warning: The results of service 'qmail-mailq: mails' on

I'm forcing an immediate check of the service.

        }
