[Nagios-users] Checking freshness Time period

Hi all!
Crossposting to nagios-devel, since this is rather a feature request.
Sumit, as far as I understand, there is currently no (simple) way to
make this work.
Currently, you make a service "passive" by setting the check_period to
"none". To me, this is rather a hack; it adds a side-affect to a
configuration option that isn't obvious, and actually reduces
functionallity.
I'd prefer being able to set the check_period for passive services just
like for active ones, and make it passive by explicitly setting
"passive_checks_enabled=1" and "active_checks_enabled=0".
Service-check results received outside the check_period (or rather:
having a timestamp outside it; regardless of when it's received) should
be discarded, and no freshness-checking should be performed.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, and things do already work that way! It
wasn't when I last checked...
Regards,
Florian Kirchmeir

Hi ,
I am using nagios 1.2 and nsca in combination . Both works great =
together.
I have configured for freshness check evrey 15 minutes( As shown =
below) . In case it fails an alert is genrated via command noreport. It
= works fine for 24*7 monitoring of services
Problem comes when i want some service to be checked for 16*5 . I get
= alerts even when i have configured the service are configured for =
16*5(check period) ( Although i am able to suppress teh alerts using =
notification period i.e. by setting it to 16*5) but still there is a red
= alert in the web interface .I would have loved to get a wall of
"GREEN".
