distributed server glitch?

[Gerald Wichmann]

Interesting.. my two distributed servers only show one nagios process
running. But the central server has a bunch as shown below.. even more when
I first looked at it. I did a /etc/init.d/nagios stop and they all went
away. None running. So I started nagios again and initially there was only
1.. but over time as you can see it seems to launch multiple ones. Is this
unusual behavior? Any thoughts on what might cause it?

First thing to check.  Stop nagios and make sure that all nagios processes
have been stopped.  It almost sounds like you have multiple daemon's
running, so you are getting mixed information from the CGI's.

I've installed a distributed environment.. 2 distributed servers polling a
variety of clients with 1 central server. Everything is received passively
by the central server. Seems to be working now as I fine tune it, but for
some reason a couple of the servers are flagged RED, even though all their
services are GREEN under "service detail" view.
Under "host detail", some have a status of "down" with status information
"CRITICAL - plugin timed out after 10 seconds"... some have a status of
"UNREACHABLE" with status information "CRITICAL - plugin timed out after 10
seconds". The last check column is very recent within a few minutes or so..
Why is this occurring? Doesn't make sense to me since under service view
everything is GREEN..
Course some of the services in service view have old times for "last
checked". Why is service detail view not as current or what might be going
on here? Weird..
