I am actually having a very similar problem. We had a power failure that lasted longer then our UPSs could take on Dec 24th. Nagios went down and when it came back up, some services have not been checked since. It is not everything... just a select few.
After a round of troubleshooting I decided to narrow down what was not getting check so I moved retention.dat and made a clean spool directory as well. Now I have about 40 services out of 308 stuck in pending. This is an example config for one of the services. # 'check_nrpe' command definition define command { command_name check_nrpe command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -u }' define service{ hostgroup_name Nmw_Servers,Wi_Servers host_name !Nmw_104_010_Finearts_Dataserver,!Nmw_104_020_Nagios,Dgh_000_012_FairUse,Art _104_014_FilmServer,!Nmw_104_092_Nagios3 service_description Check CPU Load use medium-high-priority-service check_command check_nrpe!check_load } define service{ name medium-high-priority-service use generic-service check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 5 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 2 contact_groups nagiosadmin notification_options c,r,f notification_interval 180 notification_period extendedworkhours register 0 } define service{ name generic-service active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 0 check_freshness 0 notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 failure_prediction_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 is_volatile 0 register 0 } Nagios 3.0.6 on 10.4.11 OSX. Check CPU Load is returning fine from some boxes, others it is not. It always returns correctly from the command line. I have tried manually forcing a check from the cgis with debug turned on (-1, high verbosity) and it never even shows up in the debug log as an attempt. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
