[Nagios-users] RE: problems with nagios rotating logs

[Scott B. <sc...@el...>]

If you look in the /var/archives, do you have a 2nd log file dated just a few 
seconds earlier (just before midnight)?  It's a BUG in Nagios' log rotate if 
your clock on your system goes backwards, it readjusts the log rotate time 
back too.  If you look in this other file, you'll find a line that says 
"Clock time changed backwards -- readjusting events" or something to that 
effect.
