Ways of having a passive only service with freshness checking

[Thomas Lorenzen]

Hi'

For passive only services I typically use option
   check_period                    none
instead of option
  
 active_checks_enabled           0
since
the latter gives rise to showing these checks as disabled in the
"tactical overview", which the former does not. It is less confusing
for our operators to not see anything being disabled.

Now I have
spiced these passive only checks up with freshness checkings, see
docs/freshness.html, but it seems, that this only works, if I use
"active_checks_enabled 0" instead of "check_period none". One might
suspect that, but docs/timeperiods.html states, that "Note: On-demand
checks and passive checks are not restricted by the timeperiod you
specify in the check_period directive. Only
regularly scheduled active checks are restricted.". Would you think,
that freshness checking should also fall under that category.

Best regards.

Thomas.
