Hello! Pardon me if this is already covered somewhere in the documentation.  I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.<br /><br />I have a working Nagios 3.2.0 environment in a distributed configuration. <br />One of my environments lives behind a firewall that is blocking icmp traffic from the central server.  In that <br />same environment I have a remote  Nagios node that is successfully sending service checks backs to the central server.  <br />All of the nodes behind this firewall are reporting "DOWN" on the central server nagios page, but their service checks are reporting "OK".  Is their a configuration<br />setting available so that the central server will report these nodes as UP if it receives a successful check from the remote monitoring node? <br />The "translate_passive_host_checks" options sounds like it should work, but it doesn't. I understand I can remove the check_command from the host.cfg, but<br />the host status will be a Pending status.<br /><br />Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.<br /><br />CS Configs<br />----------------<br />log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log<br />cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg<br />cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg<br />cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/timeperiods.cfg<br />cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg<br />cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/hostgroups.cfg<br />cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts<br />object_cache_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache<br />precached_object_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.precache<br />resource_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg<br />status_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat<br />status_update_interval=10<br />nagios_user=nagios<br />nagios_group=nagios<br />check_external_commands=1<br />command_check_interval=-1<br />command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd<br />external_command_buffer_slots=4096<br />lock_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock<br />temp_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.tmp<br />temp_path=/tmp<br />event_broker_options=-1<br />log_rotation_method=d<br />log_archive_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/archives<br />use_syslog=1<br />log_notifications=1<br />log_service_retries=1<br />log_host_retries=1<br />log_event_handlers=1<br />log_initial_states=0<br />log_external_commands=1<br />log_passive_checks=1<br />service_inter_check_delay_method=s<br />max_service_check_spread=30<br />service_interleave_factor=s<br />host_inter_check_delay_method=s<br />max_host_check_spread=30<br />max_concurrent_checks=0<br />check_result_reaper_frequency=10<br />max_check_result_reaper_time=30<br />check_result_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults<br />max_check_result_file_age=3600<br />cached_host_check_horizon=15<br />cached_service_check_horizon=15<br />enable_predictive_host_dependency_checks=1<br />enable_predictive_service_dependency_checks=1<br />soft_state_dependencies=0<br />auto_reschedule_checks=0<br />auto_rescheduling_interval=30<br />auto_rescheduling_window=180<br />sleep_time=0.25<br />service_check_timeout=60<br />host_check_timeout=30<br />event_handler_timeout=30<br />notification_timeout=30<br />ocsp_timeout=5<br />perfdata_timeout=5<br />retain_state_information=1<br />state_retention_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat<br />retention_update_interval=60<br />use_retained_program_state=1<br />use_retained_scheduling_info=1<br />retained_host_attribute_mask=0<br />retained_service_attribute_mask=0<br />retained_process_host_attribute_mask=0<br />retained_process_service_attribute_mask=0<br />retained_contact_host_attribute_mask=0<br />retained_contact_service_attribute_mask=0<br />interval_length=60<br />check_for_updates=1<br />bare_update_check=0<br />use_aggressive_host_checking=0<br />execute_service_checks=0<br />accept_passive_service_checks=1<br />execute_host_checks=1<br />accept_passive_host_checks=1<br />enable_notifications=0<br />enable_event_handlers=1<br />process_performance_data=0<br />obsess_over_services=0<br />obsess_over_hosts=0<br />translate_passive_host_checks=1<br />passive_host_checks_are_soft=0<br />check_for_orphaned_services=1<br />check_for_orphaned_hosts=1<br />check_service_freshness=1<br />service_freshness_check_interval=60<br />check_host_freshness=1<br />host_freshness_check_interval=60<br />additional_freshness_latency=15<br />enable_flap_detection=1<br />low_service_flap_threshold=5.0<br />high_service_flap_threshold=20.0<br />low_host_flap_threshold=5.0<br />high_host_flap_threshold=20.0<br />date_format=us<br />p1_file=/usr/local/nagios/bin/p1.pl<br />enable_embedded_perl=1<br />use_embedded_perl_implicitly=1<br />illegal_object_name_chars=`~!$%^&*|'"<>?,()=<br />illegal_macro_output_chars=`~$&|'"<><br />use_regexp_matching=0<br />use_true_regexp_matching=0<br />admin_email=nagios@localhost<br />admin_pager=pagenagios@localhost<br />daemon_dumps_core=0<br />use_large_installation_tweaks=0<br />enable_environment_macros=1<br />debug
