Submitting passive checks from a remote host with NSCA
In this recipe, we'll show how to automate the submission of passive checks by a remote host, using the example of a monitored host, ithaca.naginet, submitting a passive check to a Nagios Core server with information
about how its BACKUP service is performing.
For example, if the backup process completed successfully, we configure the monitored host to submit a passive check result specifying that the BACKUP service should have the status OK. However, if there were a problem with the backup, the monitored host could send a passive check result with a WARNING or CRITICAL status.
In both cases, Nagios Core does no checking of its own; it trusts the results submitted by its target host.
