Plugins really shouldn't know or care whether they are being run as active or passive, so it should work just fine.

But how do you "activate" the script when in passive mode?

In the Active mode I a have er service "check_xi_ncpa.py" that tell the NCPA client to run the script

@microdata.dk, This article should help you set up passive checks.
https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/help/2.1/passive.html
And here's how to generate the "definition" for your passive check:

1. Put your custom script in the Plugins folder:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nagios\NCPA\plugins

or

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Nagios\NCPA\plugins

Depending on your installation.

2. Type in the ncpa agent IP address in the web browser and add :5693 and then do the following:

This should generate the passive check definition for you.
