Thats not what I mean.  Just some of the service checks are not getting
updated at all.  They are getting scheduled and executed, but nothing is
getting updated in Nagios.  For example, I have a particular HOST with 5
service checks.  Four are working, one isn't.  Second host has SAME EXACT
service checks.  Four are working, but a different one is not.  Makes no
sense.  All service checks were working until the same date and time,
about two weeks ago, now a few ramdom checks are stale and won't update.
Even if the service goes down hard...it never updates.  Very strange.
Take for instance a PING test.  I have the same PING test for all
servers.  However, 2 or 3 haven't updated in 2 weeks.  I've restarted
NAGIOS.  I've disable state tracking.  I've enable freshness checking.
Nothing helps.  I disable state tracking, the service changes to
"PENDING", then right back to what it was 2 weeks ago.  All other services
update fine.  What am I missing...going nuts here.

Thanks!
