Uhm, maybe I didn't make myself clear:
Of course freshnes-checking should be done during the times defined as
check_period.
Outside those hours, when no service-check results are expected,
freshness checking should be suspended.
The way I understand your original post, that's what you would expect
Nagios to do, right?

Florian

Hi Florian,
The need for Freshness check is there in every case of NSCA.As you will
not get any alert if you didn't get the passive check fo a service at
all.( no Alert no action)
Freshness check helps you in those cases .( Which has no relation with
Notification period --- i am assuming)
Regards,
Sumit

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".
