Hi Henry,

Ergo: It looks like a trivial change to Opsview:
-- manage two more config lines per service:
- 'check_freshness'
- 'freshness_threshold'
-- add a checkbox and a input field to the GUI
So why not add it? (This is a feature request)
This makes sense. Would it be for active checks as well as passive
checks?
I'm thinking that the freshness_threshold should always be set to a
number to signify the duration of the freshness interval, rather than
letting Nagios calculate it. Your particular use case is about a time
triggered job so you should know the frequency of this. We can have a
checkbox for freshness, and onclick, take the check interval if set
(error if no value set).
Opsview also sets an additional amount to the freshness threshold.
This is 30 minutes by default. The reason is that when we set
freshness values on the Opsview master, we don't want to get lots of
alerts if a slave is done until this additional amount has passed.
Will this be a problem?
I guess you also want to define what happens when this freshness check
interval is reached. IE, raise a warning or critical error and
possibly some specific text too. At least two more fields then :)
And maybe I can get it sponsored. But I need to know how to sponsor.
So
please let me know hot to join the party.
I'm happy to discuss how this could be solved on the mailing list
(especially as others can see whether it would work for them).
When you want to proceed with sponsoring, you can send to me directly
