hii....i have problem with passive result in nagios.....i have install nagios on fc8...now i want to implemented nagios on distributed service....
i have done all required configuration using nsca.....and i have configured the nagios.cfg too.....
but the problem is came ...and i really desperate on it.......(im a newbie:) )....here are the problem: on my nagios master server (which is received the passive result from the slave):
EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;server_1;0;0; RTA = 1.36 ms
warning:passive check result was received for service '0' on host 'server_1', but the service could not be found!

please anyone can help me to resolve this problem, so i can received my passive result....T_T

The error message is telling you the problem.

It received a passive alert (via NSCA) for a service called '0' on a host called 'server_1' which doesnt exist.

My guess is that you've configured your slave server's send_nsca command wrong, and what was supposed to be a host alert has too many fields and so was incorrectly identified as a service alert. Check how you've configured your slave server to send the nsca alerts downstream.

thnks...4 the advice

now i think i got problem with the email notification.... i had configured nagios with email notification, i enabled the notification and i had the command notify-by-email....

when some server goes down...i got notification report on my nagios event log (on nagios web).....the problem was i didnt receive any notification sent to my email.....
please can u help me to solved that......

You're really better off asking this on the Nagios mailing list, as this is a purely nagios problem rather than for Windows Eventlog Monitor (which is the subject for this group).

Tracking down problems with your email notifications would require detailed examination of your nagios config, including what you have for your check_command, and your local email configuration as well - maybe the mails are just waiting in the local queue?

Passive in this context means that Nagios is not the initiator of the actual check commands above.
Instead the client (when it is configure to do so) will submit the results to Nagios (thus it will initiate the data transfer).
