In your configuration, nagios will do both active and on-demand  
checks. Nagios will normally do on-demand checks just by specifying  
'active_checks_enabled 1'. When you also specified 'check_interval 5',  
you told nagios that it should perform regularly timed checks of the  
host as well. If you don't want regularly checks, leave out the  
check_interval directive entirely.

I'm not sure where that's coming from since it wasn't in your original  
posting of the host definition or template. Was it ever set that way  
or currently set like that and left out of your original posting?
