Problem graphing passive checks

Post by drewlander »

Right now I am doing a proof of concept using npc, nsca and ndoutils. Basically seeing if we can do all we want to do without spending tons of money on another product that does the same thing.
Everything is working great so far except for one thing:
I cannot create any data input methods to graph for any services that are being checked passively. I can create data input methods fine for servcies that are being checked actively. Is there something obvious I missed?

Place the data in a file and then write a nice little script to open the file and save the value. Pretty easy, then it's all asynchronous.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

We could do that.
However it still is odd to me that in the NPC view, when I view a passive service, the Create Data Input button never shows, but it will show for active checks. Is there a specific reason why?

Sorry, I don't use NPC. You may want to start a separate thread.
