<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've always liked
the fact that Nagios is very flexible in many areas, but this particular
scenario I consider a bug:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a check that
I want to be passive, the check_command portion is set to simply exit with the
appropiate code.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>But in the GUI, a
user can select this service, then "enable active checks of this
service"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>This then caused me
big problem, that the service showing warnings then was not actually in warning
but was</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>forced to execute
the check_command.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>In my mind there
ought to be a more strict parameter for a check, an actual
"check_type"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>You could have
active, passive, both.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>But then if a check
is clearly defined as active, then never allow the web/cgi to then "enable
passive checks".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=530510319-24072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bottom line, I see
this as an error , allowing the web interface to enable checks , that are not
desired to run.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
