The provided file proposed the following rule:
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ nagios(2|3)?: PASSIVE SERVICE
CHECK: [._[:alnum:]-]+;.*$
Is there still nned and interest in adding this - i think it needs
some updating in 2024, for example:
- missing a PID,
- unclear whether the (2|3)? is still needed? the package seems to be
nagios4 now
- it looks quite broad(?)
so i suspect the need for this rule has passed?
