Nagios not running every midnight

[Hari Sekhon]

Hi all,

I've got a weird thing that I've noticed. I have an external script to 
use the check_nagios plugin to make sure nagios itself is running. I 
have this cronned to run every 10 minutes and if nagios is found to not 
be running then I get an email warning me of this.

The problem I'm having is that every single night at midnight exactly I 
always get an email saying that nagios is not running, the explanation 
being the output of the plugin as follows:

NAGIOS CRITICAL: Cannot parse Nagios log file for valid time



This is followed by several Recovery Alert emails for a handful of the 
112 services I currently monitor reporting that the service is ok. This 
is strange because I never received any Alert emails that the services 
were down. I suspect there is nothing wrong with the services at all but 
this is a nagios quirk or some bug in my configuration or the way I am 
doing things.

This occurs every single night. I am running nagios 2.5 with 
nagios-plugins 1.4.3.

Any ideas what I can do about this?
