Nagios freshness checks randomly think check results are from 1973.

[fevin Kagen]

I'm having this exact same issue on two different Nagios servers.  One
running Fedora and one running Ubuntu.  It is driving me crazy.



An SNMP Trap is received for a backup job.  It is properly translated and
ultimately received by Nagios.  I have a freshness check in place for the
service that will create a critical alert if a check is not received every
26 hours.  For whatever reason, the check is run right after the alert is
received and it think the results are 12K+ days old.  It seems to
periodically think the results are from 11-08-1973.



This is an ongoing issue on both servers, but certainly isn't the norm.
 Typically the freshness checks work great.  However, about once or twice a
week, I see this behavior on random checks.  Here is an example:

[08-10-2008 00:06:07] SERVICE ALERT:
HHA_Backups;Backup_Incremental;CRITICAL;HARD;3;CRITICAL: Results of backup
job were not reported!
[08-10-2008 00:05:47] SERVICE ALERT:

successfully. However, the following conditions were encountered: 1 files
were skipped. A snapshot operation required by this job was unsuccessful.
Check the job log and the Windows Event Viewer for additional information.

[1218341166] Warning: The results of service 'Backup_Incremental' on host
'HHA_Backups' are stale by 12689d 23h 17m 32s (threshold=1d 2h 0m 0s).  I'm
forcing an immediate check of the service.

[1218341167] SERVICE ALERT:

Any ideas?

Thanks!
