Host Check NCPA + NRDS

Post by lb2cons »

Hello, how can I perform a host check using NCPA with passive checks throughout NRDS?

I've installed NCPA on a Windows BOX and configured the host on Nagios XI using NRDS config file, but, the host check was never executed.

All services checks it's OK.

Having a passive check on a host doesn't make much sense. If the host is down, you wouldn't be able to run the check (as it is run on the remote machine). If you really need to monitor the host, you will need to set up an active check. I would recommend setting up freshness checks for the services. For more info, please read the following document:
