Re: [Nagios-devel] passive on-demand host checks being converted
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 7:46 am
Aha! Yes, I actually did go through the nagios.cfg file with a
fine-toothed comb when we went distributed (back at 3.0rc1 as I recall),
but at the time I don't think I quite understood what that option meant.
This is the "passive_host_checks_are_soft" option. I turned it on, ran
a test and my problem is resolved.
Thanks, Thomas and sorry to bother this list with something that was my
problem.
