nagios web GUI dispay delay and mismatch

[Assaf Flatto]

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 ?

Thanks 

Assaf
