Passive Checks & Forcing Immediate Checks

Post by cstuart »

What is the point of forcing an immediate check of a passive check? It's not going to know what to check. It just goes to an OK status with a message of "No data received yet." Is there something useful in there that I'm missing?

If not, is there an easy way to hide "Force an Immediate Check" for passive checks?

No, you're not missing anything. I think we just never added logic to remove that particular button from service checks that are passive only. I'll drop in a feature request for this, and see if we can get it added at some point.
