[Nagiosplug-help] No Notification on passive checks

[Hans Müller]

Hi!

I´m trying to get notification via email from a passive check. The passive check is sent via NSCA and in the nagios.log it gets successfully logged in a HARD state and a SERVICE ALERT is triggered and the line in the interface gets red. The problem is that I do not get any eMails if a problem occurs. eMail notification works with other checks and when sent manually via a custom notification. What to do to get notifications for this service ?

Another problem is that if i define that service as active_check it gets recovered after a minute, when defined as passive check it will not get recovered. Is the active_check parameter here right ?

Thx for any help!

Here the service definitions:

services.cfg

define service {
               service_description                   passive_service
