<div dir="ltr">
<p>I'm having this exact same issue on two different Nagios
servers. One running Fedora and one running Ubuntu. It is driving
me crazy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>An SNMP Trap is received for a backup job. It is properly
translated and ultimately received by Nagios. I have a freshness check in
place for the service that will create a critical alert if a check is not
received every 26 hours. For whatever reason, the check is run right
after the alert is received and it think the results are 12K+ days old.
It seems to periodically think the results are from 11-08-1973. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is an ongoing issue on both servers, but certainly
isn't the norm. Typically the freshness checks work great. However,
about once or twice a week, I see this behavior on random checks. Here is
an example:</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
