Nagios status log stale?

[Xueshan Feng]

I started using master/slave nagios server setup a few days ago. Initially
I set up aging threshold to 5 minutes, then slave would take over too often.
Now I set the threshold to 20 minutes, occasionally the test still fail:

NAGIOS WARNING: 13 processes, status log updated 1308 seconds ago

And 5 minutes later the check will be happy again because the log was
updated. I was wondering which log check_nagios checks? status.dat, or
nagios.log?

Nagios.log doesn't appear to have more than 20 minutes idle time, and it
shouldn't, for a server monitoring hundres of machines and thousands of
services on them.

Anyone else experienced similar issue?

Thanks,

Xueshan
