Problem: Passive checks and freshness threshold

Hello,

I have a problem maybe a misunderstanding concerning time perdiods and passive checks with freshness threshold enabled.

My configuration is as follows:

  • check_period: daily time period from 06:00 until 23:00 o’clock
  • freshness_threshold set to 1810 seconds
  • passive monitoring script submits a status between 06:00 - 23:00 o’clock at 15 mins time interval

With this configuration I get at 06:00 o’clock a warning message created by freshness threshold which is reset to OK with the first passive check result a few seconds later.

I don’t unterstand why Nagios is not sending a first alert after start of check_period plus freshness_threashold? Why is Nagios alerting me as soon as check_period starts?

Regards,
Heiko
