HP Insight Control for Linux 6.2 User Guide

The standard Nagios Tactical Overview display uses the color red to highlight ‘Disabled’ services.
To illustrate, in Figure 20-3, in the Active Checks column, the message 21 Services Disabled
is displayed on a red field.
A disabled service is a configuration status, not an error condition. Insight Control for Linux
takes advantage of the Nagios passive check feature to optimize and to minimize data collection
and reporting across large numbers of managed systems.
NOTE: HP recommends that administrators do not enable these services because they are not
meant to run under normal conditions and causes Nagios to generate false alerts.
Nagios services are described in the next portion of the window.
20.3.2 Viewing Nagios hosts and services
When the hardware configurations contains dozens of managed systems, the Service Detail view
provides a good view of the Nagios hosts and their corresponding Nagios services. Select
Prob lems Services (Unhandled) in the Nagios menu to open this view. Figure 20-4 is an example
of a portion of the Nagios Service Detail view. It is truncated, showing the Nagios services for
the CMS.
