Last Check data is updated at the same time the status information is
(i.e. when checks are performed) so they should always be accurate. Do
you have any orphaned check processes? Are you allowing enough
concurrent checks to be run (max_concurrent_checks)? Are you reaping
service check results often (service_reaper_frequency). I don't
understand why the information would be days old in either case. Perhaps
you _might_ have multiple daemons running? More information on your
installation, number of hosts and services and the type of hardware
might be helpful. Output of /path/to/nagios -s /path/to/nagios.cfg would
be informative as well.
