Nagios Support Forum

Hi Marco,

sorry for late answer. I have to wait for today to test this on a nagios2.x.

Seems that you are right about the TAC.

I've made a Screenshot for others on this list on

http://process-zero.de/nagiosscr/tac-pa ... oblems.png

Since that the information that active checks are disabled is mentionend
under "Monitoring Features" I would suggest to not differ between
enabled / disabled active checks under "Services".

@List: Any thoughts about this?

This FAQ entry is AFAIK obsolete since there have been changes to
freshness between nagios 2.? and 2.? (sorry, can't remember the
subreleases).

this way.
