FW: Question about Freshness Checking

[Wheeler, JF (Jonathan)]

There are several things that I do in situations like this, usually on
the master server:

a) "Acknowledge" the service or host problem which will prevent
notifications
b) change the configuration to suppress the service check for this host
or remove the host from the configuration and restart Nagios on both
host and slave (distributed) servers
c) I believe that you can also schedule "downtime" for either host or
specific service

Of course in each situation above you have to remember to reverse the
change once the service/host is available again.

I am running a Distributed Nagios configuration.  On each of my passive
service checks I am also doing freshness checks just encase the
distributed host goes down and can't run the check.  I am able to log
into the distributed hosts Web Interface and shut off active checks if I
don't want to run checks for a temporary amount of time on a specific
hosts and it is service with one click to disable active checks for all
services.  This works with out any problems but once my freshness checks
is hit the Centralized Nagios hosts starts doing the active checks
because it doesn't receive an update from the Distributed Hosts.  I am
aware this is what should be happening and it is working great.  Is
there a way to disable the freshness check for all the services for a
host just like you can for active checks?  I know if I shut off
receiving passive checks for one service this disables the freshness
checks.  Has someone configured a patch or know how to activate this
feature to disable passive checks for all services on a host through the
Nagios cgi.
