To answer my own (implied) question: base/nagiostats.c uses a different subroutine, read_nagiostats_file(), to read and parse a status file named by the -s option; when parsing nagios.cfg (default or -c option) and grabbing the value of the status_file directive there, read_status_file() is used instead. As far as I can tell, read_status_file() matches the current status.dat syntax, while read_nagiostats_file() expects a format that plain isn't to be found anywhere else anymore. For example, it's the only place in the code where I can find the string "nagios_version", which it parses for. The figure nagiostats outputs for NUMSVCOK (the one I focused on in my last post - *not* the only one resulting in wrong numbers) is actually *counted* in status.dat by read_status_file(), while read_nagiostats_file() expects it to be *stated* as "services_ok" in the file read; again, this seems to be the only place in the code where "services_ok" appears *as a string* (rather than a variable of the same name). Any chance that the -s option might be reappropriated to read the current status.dat files via read_status_file(), rather than a format lost in the sands of time ... ? Kind regards, J.
