content on the web won't change even nagios process has been killed

[Ran Li]

Hi Scott and all,
 
on the step 4, I killed the nagios process 
 
(just a sample)
 
#ps -ef | grep nagios
nagios    3548 31209  0 Jul27 pts/2    00:00:00 ./nagios
../etc/nagios.cfg
 
#kill 3548
 
the web content I mentioned is under the Monitoring category -> Service
Detail, where I can see every service 's status on each host. I m using
Apache2. I even tried to restart the http service, but won't work
either, web shows every service 's status is OK, while nagios is not
running. Normal?
 
I think I m using active check not passive one, the parameter
check_freshness is set to 0 in the configuration file.
 
nagios server (nagios/web interface/plugins/check_nrpe)
        |
    /       \
host1    host2 (nrpe/plugins)
 
 
Thanks and regards,
 
-tea

	Which nagios server did you shutdown in step 4? 
	If you shutdown the remote one, the central one will not know
that the remote machine is no longer sending passive checks unless you
set the check_freshness command on the central server.
	Also which web interface are you looking at?

	Hi all,
	 
	Please advise which parameter(s) exactly control(s) this.
	 
	situation is
	 
	1. after the configuration, I can monitor the services on the
local and remote hosts
	2. when I made the changes on the configuration, I need to
restart the nagios process 
	3. for the first couple of times when I restarted the nagiso
process, the service that being monitored, their status on the web would
show Pending first and then turned to green one by one ... which is OK
	4. I leave it there for a night, this morning, when I shutdown
the nagios, found the the content on the web is still the same, which
all services are still OK/green even without nagios.
	5. I tried to shutdown some of the services as well, but the
content still would not be changed. 
	6. then I started the nagios again, this time it would refresh
the status and tells the services that I shutdown are CRITICAL/Red.
	7. I killed the nagios process again, everything stays the same.

	 
	is this configuration on the nagios or on the apache? some place
cache it?
	 
	Thanks and regards,
