Hi,
Can you confirm me, when a check occures because freshness exceed limit, dependencies are ignored ?
Anything to do not ignore dependencies ?
Thanks
Erwan

You mean that you would like freshness checks (on a passive service?) to be treated the same as an active check on an active service when checking? Such that if all dependencies are down it will not alert you? Could you explain why you are looking to have it ignore your configure dependencies?

Hi,
In my configuration Freshness is configured for all my check.
When I have a service with dependencies down, freshness force check on this service. So when I have dependencies, check is everytime done no matter dependencies.
Thanks

This is WAI. Freshness will force an active check no matter what:
If the check results is found to be stale, Nagios will force an active check of the host or service by executing the command specified by in the host or service definition.
Tip Tip: An active check is executed even if active checks are disabled on a program-wide or host- or service-specific basis.
