Nagios Support Forum

Good afternoon.
Can you give me information on the tab check setting in Service Management?
(monitoring Service)

In the Documentation tab describing content, but there is much information that I do not understand.

What is the difference between putting on or skip or null in Active checks enabled?
What is the difference between putting on or skip or null in Passive checks enabled?

Thanks for your time
regards

This information can be found by searching through the following documentation:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... tions.html

It will also provide examples for usage.

Thank you very much for your reply.
After reading the documentation, could you tell me please what is the difference to put the active check enabled in SKIP or ON

Thanks for your time.

Regards and happy new year 2014

On will turn the value to ON (the default)

Skip, will use the value derived from underlying templates that have been applied.

Good morning,

What is the difference between null and skip?

skip, will use the values in a template if they exist.

null will disregard any template settings and leave the field value null

You can give me a quick explication, please.

obsess_over_host - This option allows you to specify a command to be run after every host check. It is usually better to use event handlers in xi instead of ochp.
retain_status_information - When nagios is restarted, the previous state of all objects is remembered.
retain_nonstatus_information - When nagios is restarted, the previous state is ignored, all checks are set to "pending" and must get checked before state is known.
Proccess perf data - Record the performance data to an RRD - This must be enabled in order to generate graphs.
is volatile - Treat all checks as state changes. Useful when you need to run an event handler on every check (as event handlers only run on state change).

Thanks very much for all information.

I understand all, except IS VOLATILE check_settings tab.

What is the difference with the normal checkup?
What does the mark on is volatile and no mark in the event handler?

Always that I exectue de Event Handler, I must make de IS VOLATILE?

Thanks for your time.
