<DIV> I noticed that the main.php page update_available blue flag never appears for me when a new version of Nagios is available. I do have check_for_updates=1, but I see the following at the top of the Nagios status.dat file:</DIV>
<DIV>info {</DIV>
<DIV> created=1358284500</DIV>
<DIV> version=3.4.1</DIV>
<DIV> last_update_check=1340002591</DIV>
<DIV> update_available=1</DIV>
<DIV> last_version=3.3.1</DIV>
<DIV> new_version=3.4.1</DIV>
<DIV> }</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> What that tells me is that the Nagios function (that checks to see if there is an update available) hasn't run since 6/18.2012 6:56:31 GMT (1340002591). I am seeing similar indications on my other Nagios servers. </DIV>
<DIV>1) Is there a way to force Nagios to CHECK NOW?</DIV>
<DIV>2) Does the update_check log it's results somewhere?</DIV>
<DIV>3) Do you have any recommendations on how I should approach this problem?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I am running Nagios v3.4.1 on one server and v3.4.3 on the other two. They are running on SLES 10 SP3 64-bit.</DIV>
