Re: [Nagios-devel] passive host - distributed monitoring

[Guest]

Hi,=20

My current scenario is that the central server can not reach the hosts =
that the distributed server is checking.

I tried using the method from the doc when I set the system up, but what =
I saw is that even if a service is "fresh", an active check is still =
made according to its schedule, and then it becomes unknown - stale,

Marco.

Well, I think I don't get this right.
Your remote hosts are not reachable by your master? So active checks
will never be an option?
Why don't you go the way described in:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html (nearly at the
end of the page)

This would get you an alerting when the passive checks are stale,
instead of doing a normal active check of your services when they are
stale.
