service checks randomly disappear

[aloclarit at aol.com]

did some more digging and indeed it apeears the status.dat file does 
not get updated most of the time.
Whenever i get the error below I check status.dat and there is no entry 
for the service. If i keep refreshing till it shows up and then check 
status.dat the service appears in there. Makes sense i guess cause the 
webinterface relies on status.dat to display the stuff but why is 
status.dat not properly updated ?
btw. just tried latest CVS - same prob.

   forgot to mention that whenever the service DOES show up and I click 
on it I usually get this error :

 Error: Service Status Not Found!

  however, if I keep refreshing the proper page will show up and then 
change back to the error again. Looks like it keeps loosing
 the service status info for these 2 services.

 guys

  I have a really weird problem. I've been running nagios 2.0b3 for 
months without hickups (except that it never remembers
  host acknowledgements/disabled host notifications after a restart..and 
yes I have that set in nagios.cfg!)

 But here is the big problem :
  I added 2 services for 2 databases and for some reason nagios has 
trouble being consistent with those 2 services.
  After I first added them the webinterface didn't show them.I had to 
refresh the page a few times then it showed up - only to disappear 
again a second later. It keeps doing that. One moment it have 15 
services and after a page refresh it shows 17 services.
  Sometimes it shows 16 then 17 or 15 again. This is really driving me 
nuts.
  I upgraded to 2.04b today but no luck. the funny thing is that this 
ONLY happens to those 2 services but I cannot see how they
  are different. I'm also checking these 2 services on another box - no 
problem at all. Then again, all other services on those2 boxes run fine 
too.
  I tried defining them seperately by box as well as in a hostgroup - no 
difference.
 Here are the 2 services:

 define service{
 use generic-service
 hostgroup_name sdatabases
 service_description CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS IN WAIT QUEUE
  check_command 
check_oracle_queue!--service-waits!bspstg!nagios!nagios!20!30
 max_check_attempts 5
 normal_check_interval 5
 contact_groups admins,managers
 }

 define service{
 use generic-service
 hostgroup_name sdatabases
 service_description CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS
  check_command 
check_oracle_requests!--requests!bspstg!nagios!nagios!1!700!1000
 max_check_attempts 5
 normal_check_interval 5
 contact_groups admins,managers
 }

  As I said these 2 are also defined on a devbox so instead of 
hostgroup_name it says host_name and instead of 'bspstg' it says 
'bspdev' but none of that should matter. Here the services are totally 
consistent whereas in the sdatabases group they keep dis- and 
re-appearing.

 Anyone seen this ??
