You can enable active checks in bulk via Configure > Core Config Manager > Bulk Modifications Tool > Change a Single Config Option > Active Checks Enabled option.

Please note that the hosts/services would still need a check command defined on the hosts/services for the active checks to work.

You don't have the Bulk Modifications Tool or you don't have the Enterprise License to use it?

Generally, if the checks were setup as passive checks they won't have the proper active check setup for it. What I mean by that is in that case it's not as simple as just enabling active checks.

Please PM me a copy of your profile.zip so I can see how they are setup, you can download it from Admin > System Profile by clicking the Download Profile button.

Please PM me a copy of your profile.zip so I can see how they are setup and I'll see if we can do it in bulk through SQL, you can download it from Admin > System Profile by clicking the Download Profile button.
