Service Definition for Passive Only Reports

Are you using freshness checking? If not, try creating a time period "never"
so that the active check is never scheduled.
Otherwise you usually just want to set active_checks_enabled to 0 but I
guess you don't want the CGIs to show that the checks are disabled?
