<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am running nagios 1.2 and have a passive check
that is sent results every 5 minutes from a monitored server. The check is
also configured to only send out notifications between 04:00 and 22:30 as
the service being monitored is not actually running outside those
hours.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As expected, the service goes into a CRITICAL state
during the non-notification period and then resumes an OK state when
the service is running again. But then there is a strange situation
where it toggles between the previous CRITICAL state </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and an OK state. Here is an example of what I mean
(reading from bottom up). Notice how the CRITICAL alert saying "last updated
2006/09/06 22:21:09" keeps recurring, even though there has been a valid (OK) in
between :</FONT></DIV>
