What is the wrong output being returned ? This might give us all a clue as to
the cause of the problem.
When you run the check manually, are you doing this as the same user that

Hi Folks,
I have two nagios boxes, one production and one planned to be a proper failover
box.
If I configure NSCA, as suggested in the docs I've read so far, do I put the
send_nsca daemon on the production box so that it sends passive check results
to the failover box ?
Thanks,

Hi,
We use Nagios 3.2.0 on SLES 10 SP2 to monitor a few hundred services.
Yesterday, we put a particular service into flexible downtime from around 7am
to 2pm. However, it seems to still be stuck in flexible downtime so any alerts
after 2pm haven't been sent out.
I'm not entirely sure why
the fixed dates are taken (Start Date, End Date).
To remove a host or service from a scheduled downtime, click on Downtime in
the left navigation. There you can delete the wanted entry.
