Next Check: showing a past date

[sampaths]

Hi,

We are using passive checks.
With Freshness Threshold of 420sec (7min)

Please see the attached image.
last check shows correctly but the next check is showing a past time.

Go to the CCM > Services, click on the "View config" next to your service, copy/paste the config to the forum. We will try to replicate this issue in-house. Thanks!

It seems like this is a display issue only. The "next check" ("next scheduled check") is not used with passive checks as these are not initiated by nagios. When you have a passive check, in Nagios Core, you would see:

Next Scheduled Check: N/A

In XI, you should see:

Next Check: Not scheduled

however, if you had freshness enabled, you may see an actual timestamp. It would be in the past as when the freshness check is run, the "last check" timestamp is used for some reason. I believe Nagios XI should always show "Not scheduled" as far as the next check goes for passive checks. Our developers said that they would be changing this to match Nagios Core.

FYI, I don't think this (display) inconsistency would cause any issues on your system. Let us know if you have any further questions.
