Hi,
i'm a developer of NagVis, in the actual version we have a problem with reading host/service states from NDO. We filter the objects with the flag is_active. Actualy we are not sure what the flag is used for, we gues it's to hold objects for historical informations in the DB.
I just had a look at NDO-1.4b2 sources (dbhandlers.c).

It looks like all objects in NDO are first set to is_active=0 (function: ndo2db_set_object_as_inactive()).

Then the up to date objects will be updated/created (Function: ndo2db_handle_<objekt>definition). In this process all objects expect services and hosts run the function ndo2db_set_object_as_active() to set the objects to is_active=1.

Maybe it's a bug? Maybe not. I just had a short look at the sources.

If this is no bug, could anyone please explain what the flag is_active stands for and in which cases it's used?

Regards,
Lars
