Then what are the database entries time_ok, time_warning, time_critical,
and time_unknown for exactly?  Are they regularly calculated from the logs
or something?  (or on startup?)  I write a lot of external interfaces to
nagios's database, which access mysql directly.  I pulled those fields
from there.  They seem to be nice and accurate.  ;)  But they are accurate
since the "dawn of time" for that host.  I was under the impression that
those servicestatus table entries (time_ok, etc) were kept up separately
from the logs.
