<div><tt> Very helpful. The last link gave me something the
latch onto. Here is the top of my status.dat file:</tt></div>
<div><tt><br>
info {<br>
created=1317748445<br>
version=3.3.1<br>
last_update_check=1317680163<br>
update_available=0<br>
last_version=3.3.1<br>
new_version=3.3.1<br>
}</tt></div>
<div><tt> </tt></div>
<div><tt> So it appears that Nagios is checking just fine. So my
problem appears to be the in main.php, which never did display
the "update available" banner when I was running version 3.2.3
(and 3.3.1 had been out for a week). Any ideas?<br>
</tt></div>

<tt><br>
that'll be a bug report for nagios developers then. the only
support from my side on that functionality - you can have a
patchset which completely removes the home calling functionality
from both, core and gui and re-adds the default look on the
tac.cgi - but i don't think that you want that ;-))<br>

<div><tt>This feature (check for updates) does not
appear to be working for me. When 3.3.1 came out,
I waited for a week, and never saw the update
available banner displayed on the Nagios main
landing page (main.php). I've been playing with
the main.php page to get it to display the
date/time of the last update check, and it returns
blank (no value), so I'm assuming that too mean
it's not actually checking.</tt></div>

<div><tt> I am currently running Nagios 3.3.1 on the
Novell SLES v10 server (Nagios compiled from
source). Can anyone give me some troubleshooting
steps to get me started? For example, is there a
way to enable logging of the check for updates
feature, and is there a way to manually start the
update check (the API, not the web page URL link)?</tt></div>

the core is scheduling call home events and saves the
version information and various other attributes in
both status.dat and retention.dat. the cgis (or the
php part of it) parse that information into a readable
version onto the web.<br>

<br>
so i would guess if you don't allow the nagios core to
phone home, it won't show an updated version.
scheduling cycle is somewhere around 22 hours,
changing is only possible if you recompile.<br>
