From Active to Passive: Better Host Checks in Nagios XI
December 11, 2025
Overview
Join us as we take a closer look at passive checks and their role as host alive checks in Nagios XI. We will define passive checks, walk through the communication path from monitored systems back to Nagios, and explain why this model can provide a stronger and more accurate signal for host health. This webinar will also include a live configuration example using NCPA to set up a passive host check, along with discussion of different types of data you might want to return in those checks. By the end, you will have a clear picture of when and why to favor passive host checks in your environment.
