Nagios Support Forum

I have a distributed Nagios configuration in which I use NSCA for a central nagios instance to accept passive service/host checks from the remote one.

The reason I have to use NSCA and passive checks is due to the fact that my Nagios' instances are in different domains. This way, unlness there was an open port for each monitored host (which is highly unsafe) I couldn't monitor the remote subnet with my central instance.

Problem is that host_checks on the central instance are only fresh after I restart all the operating modules, afterwords they get stale.

Still, those checks keep fresh on the remote instance (the one who is performing active checks).

Furthermore, there was an issue reported by mag (and resolved by egalstad) much like this one which is troubling me (0000152: some host checks get skipped if service checks are disabled). I did not understand the solution whis was conveyed in pseudocode and suposely is in the CVS (WHERE???). That issue is under this link: http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=152

Hi!

In another forum, I was informed this is a version issue:

ah issue 152 .. the one where ethan created the best bug ever in 3.2.2 ... it's fixed in 3.2.3 so getting the latest version would help resolve that. in icinga, i've put that fix into 1.2.0 iirc.

So, I'm currently migrating our nagios' servers from 3.2.1 to 3.2.3.

It is going in a pacific fashion with no problems up to this point.

Just updating all the path related variables, macros, config files and binarys.

I'm yet to verify if it fixes the stale host checks issue, though I'm confident it will.

Maybe in a month I will be using Icinga.

Thank you for your support. I will spread the word for this fix in the community.
