Nagios Stale Checks

[carole verdon]

  It's because the check_service_freshness 
<http://lerins.cict.fr/nagios/docs/configmain.html#check_service_freshness> 
option is set to 1.

*_What Happens When A Service Check Result Becomes "Stale"_*

If the check results of a service are found to be "stale" (as described 
above), Nagios will force an active check of the service by executing 
the command specified by the /check_command/ option in the service 
definition. It is important to note that an active service check which 
is being forced because the service was detected as being "stale" gets 
executed /even if active service checks are disabled on a program-wide 
or service-specific basis/.
