Service freshness ?

Hi!

 I consider moving a lot of SNMP checks to local hosts, and let them submit
the result via NSCA ... But checking the docs for services definitions let
me to wonder about these:

check_freshness *: This directive is used to determine whether or not
freshness checks are enabled for this service. Values: 0 = disable freshness
checks, 1 = enable freshness checks.

freshness_threshold: This directive is used to specify the freshness
threshold (in seconds) for this service. If you set this directive to a
value of 0, Nagios will determine a freshness threshold to use
automatically.

Since NSCA will be used, is is a passive service-check being submitted to
Nagios. But my question is how to set up my alerting for this kind of
services. If e.g. in a normal service check I have a normal_check_interval
of 5 minutes, retry_check_interval 1 minute - and max_check_attemps 3 .. How
would this be configures in freshness ?? set threshold to 8 minutes (640
seconds) ?

Regards,

/Brian
