Passive checks - assistance required...

[David Jacobson]

Hi There,

I have been playing with NC_Net for 3 weeks now, I’ve managed to get some of the basic passive checks working, but have two questions if you don’t mind:

1. For checks like “cputotal” I’d like to change the service name to CPU – If I make the change it appears not to return the result back, is it possible to change the name of passive service checks?
2. I’m finding it quite hard to understand how to execute a custom batch/exe file and submit back passively?  Client has a lot of unique monitoring requirements, that aren’t in your usual cpu/mem/service checks.
3. How can I setup ICMP to be sent passively (to check host up/down?)
4. If a passive check fails, will it keep sending forever?  In Nagios we specify max_check_attempts to say 3, I just need to understand where that is set in the passive.cfg or if it just keeps sending the error.

Many thanks in advance.
