What does your scheduling queue show for Next Check?

[service/command definitions snipped]

All these look good. To simplify things for troubleshooting, I'd disable
these in your generic-service template --

passive_checks_enabled
obsess_over_service
check_freshness
event_handler_enabled
failure_prediction_enabled
process_perf_data
retain_status_information
retain_nonstatus_information

I would also, if you have it enabled, disable retain_state_information
in nagios.cfg, stop nagios, verify that all processes are dead, remove
the state_retention_file and restart nagios.

Finally, check nagios.log for any interesting output that might indicate
a problem.
