ISSUE

When I add hosts using both the Linux and Windows Monitoring Wizard, the "Check period" is not defined when I look at the service using "Nagios Core Config Manager":

Are you getting any kind of error about this or are you just curious why this is happening? The check time period is defined in the service template, and inherits the setting from it. You can see which templates are applied to a service at the bottom of the "Common Settings" tab in the Core Config Manager.

I'm getting 111 warnings in /var/log/messages about "has no check time period defined!" for services and hosts that were created with either the Linux or Windows wizard.

I've noticed the same. I think this is a bug. You have to manually edit them in the core config manager.

I think this is a setting that's missing from the base host and service templates. It's not really bug, but the warning is there as more of a "best practices" indication. If you add the 24x7 timeperiod to the xiwizard_generichost and xiwizard_genericservice templates, the messages should disappear for most hosts and services. If it's not defined, I believe that 24x7 is the assumed check period.

Thanks
