Exam NCA-7.5 Topic 1 Question 17 Discussion

When an NCC plugin has been administratively disabled, a normal command-line execution respects that disabled state and skips the plugin. To run that specific check without permanently changing its configured status in Prism, the administrator must append the --force_run=True argument to the NCC command. The flag instructs NCC to execute the selected plugin despite its disabled configuration.
Restarting the cluster health service does not change the plugin's enablement state and introduces an unnecessary service operation. Re-enabling the check in Prism Element could also permit execution, but it changes the persistent configuration and is not required when the objective is to run the check once from the command line. Running ncc health_checks run_all does not override the disabled state; the disabled plugin can still be omitted from the complete check set.
NCC supports running complete check groups, individual plugins, and command options that modify execution behavior. Administrators should use forced execution deliberately because a check may have been disabled due to environmental applicability, a known issue, or support guidance. Reference: NCC 5.2 - NCC Usage .
