A question about "initial_state"

[Assaf Flatto]

Since this is a passive state , until it gets a state submissions from the NSCA it will be in a Pending state . 

The initial_state directive is for Active services AFAIK.

Subject: [Nagios-users] A question about "initial_state" 

Hello! 

I added "initial_state u" to passive service template definition, but after restart Nagios, all passive service checks have the status "PENDING" , not "UNKNOWN" 

define service{ 
name passive-service 
retain_status_information 
0 
retain_nonstatus_information 0 
active_checks_enabled 0 
passive_checks_enabled 1 
flap_detection_enabled 0 
is_volatile 0 
check_period 24x7 
max_check_attempts 1 
normal_check_interval 5 
retry_check_interval 1 
check_freshness 1 
freshness_threshold 15 ; seconds 
initial_state u 
contact_groups admins 
check_command check_dummy!0 
notification_interval 60 
notification_period 24x7 
notification_options w,u,c,r 
stalking_options w,c,u 
register 0 
} 

Whats wrong?
