I don't mind modifying the scripts, I just meant I had to many so as to monitor all of them and Nagios was a pain when I might see it all in Nagios. I assume as not all of my scripts run every day, I can use Time Periods to restrict the checking but how does that work with the check_dummy and freshness_threshold? My scripts are much shorter and I need to know the day after if they didn't run so the freshness_threshold will be much lower than the weekend span? How do I stop an erroneous critical event every weekend for example?
