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

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.
