Hello List I have a peculiar issue of a mismatch between the nagios GUI and the actual data in the log files .
Let me give a bit of background , i found that some of my server check ( check_host_ alive) have not been done for a large period of time ( 10 month) , so changed the configuration ( below ) of nagios to force it to do host check and service checks at least once in 10 minutes . Ever since then nagios web GUi is not displaying a "true" status of the network : comments are not removed , alerts are recovered in the logs but still appear as faulty on the web GUI . The machine load is not very high - 2.60, 3.47, 4.05 , so I am presuming it is not an issue of the server being slow. has anyone ever encountered any thing similar ? , or has my configuration causing nagios to tangle on itself ?
