Schedule report to get stale last check

Hello,
I am going through all the Reports that are available in the Nagios XI GUI (version 5.4.4) and cannot identify a report that I would like to schedule.
What I am seeking is to get a report that would identify stale "Last Check" dates in order to identify nrdp checks that may have stopped reporting in to the Nagios XI monitoring server.
Is such a report possible ? If so, kindly advise which report and an example with screenshot would be much appreciated.

This does not exist. The closest thing that you can do would be to go to the service status page, and sort by Last Check (Asc) and then on the upper right hover over menu and select "Schedule Page" and you could schedule this as a report.

Many people that want freshness checks on their passive checks will set the check command to a check_dummy command and then set active checks off but set Check freshness On a Freshness threshold of how often to run the checks if they are stale, and it sets the state to whatever you set the check_dummy command to do.
