Nagios monitoring itself / outage

[Assaf Flatto]

when you say Nagios , are you referring to the service or to the actual server (hardware) it self ?

If the hardware was still active , but the service was down - then the time you see is right - since 
it is inherited from the OS uptime , and not service run time (AFAIK).
