Host Check -> Status Map delay

[Steve Loughran]

Hi all

Sorry... two questions in one day.

Just upgraded to Nagios v1.2 (very smooth upgrade... but this issue showed
up in v1.0b as well)

I have written a global host event handler that takes a snapshot of the
status map image (with wget) and dumps it into a predefined directory on the
webserver when the host status is "HARD", so it can be used to give a
graphical history of any outages (and the effects of that) to the bosses or
the ISPs. The handler works just fine, and is called at the right time, but
I am finding that there is a delay between when the host check says its UP
or DOWN, and when the status map image file is updated.

In my config:

    aggregate_status_updates=0

so any updates should be distributed almost instantly, but even with a 20
second wait in the script, the image file that I grab shows the status of
the host as it was just before the host check says its status had changed.

Anyone know if this is fixable somehow, or what the delay is between the
host being marked as "HARD" + "DOWN" and the status map image being updated
to reflect this status?

Many thanks.

Steve
