Passive Service not turning STALE

[steffi]

Hi.
I have a passive check which is not changing state. Both boxes use ntp, times are matching.
I started by submitting manually a passive check result with Status OK, which is displayed correctly in the web gui. Since than I did not trigger any manual check from the remote side since I was expecting the service to trigger STALE state. But this does not happen. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Steffi

These are the settings:

# will add to any host and service freshness thresholds that
additional_freshness_latency=15

Your check period is set to none, I believe you need this to be set to a timeperiond that is 24x7 if you want the checks to be performed (including freshness checks)
