Hello,
When using passive checks, you *should* do the following:
define service {
name generic-passive-service ;
active_checks_enabled 0 ; Active service checks are
enabled
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are
enabled/accepted
parallelize_check 1 ;
obsess_over_service 1 ;
check_freshness 1 ; Default is to NOT check
service 'freshness'
freshness_threshold 660
is_volatile 0
notifications_enabled 1 ; Service notifications are
enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler is
enabled
flap_detection_enabled 0 ; Flap detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data
retain_status_information 0 ; Retain status information
across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 0 ; Retain non-status information
across program restarts
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION
- ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
}
Notice in particular check_freshness and freshness_threshold!
Now on a service you have:
define service {
use generic-passive-service
host_name fubar
service_description Load
is_volatile 0
check_command check-passive
}
Notice check_command?
define command {
command_name check-passive
command_line $USER1$/check_dummy 2 "No status update"
}
Helpful, though sparse, hints? :D

Or is it?
