Nagios monitoring itself / outage

[Julie]

Hi,

Here is a problem that I am sure someone has had to solve.. If you have a
single "main" nagios server and it goes down for any reason, but all the
systems remain up, then, let's say 23 hours later, you get yoru main server
back up - how does Nagios figure out *IT* was down since it has not been
polling itself. Well it has, but not while it was down?

I had this happen and the reporting and everything show it as being up for
39 days even though ti was down for 23 hours. ALl the other systems, which
are remote, of course show correct up time.

How can nagios figure this out?

thanks
