Nagios Stale Checks

[Marc Powell]

Umm. You can. Put it in the specific service definition instead of the
template. Anything in a service definition overrides the values in the
template. The idea would be to enable it globally in nagios.cfg then
either enable it in a template if most/all of your checks require it and
disable it in specific service definitions or vice-versa.

thanks, i was looking for this in services.cfg instead of nagios.cfg

Would be nice if you could disable this per service instead of acrossed
the board like this, but this will do.

Thanks again.

	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.

10am and 11:30am clearly midnight is outside of this time frame. the
