I'd love to see the status age (0d 0h 0m 10s ago) show on Host and service status info windows. My installations are based on UTC date - while I am in the Pacific time zone - I always have to look at the UTC date, then the currently displayed Last check time to think about how long ago this item was actually checked. Adding this would most helpful to me.
Also - I have looked into the source code (but I'm not really a coder) - the extinfo.c module already has this feature for the Last Update entry.
It looks like this would be pretty easy to do - just update the last_update value to use last_check - there's even a comment that makes it look like someone has already thought of this, yet didn't implement it? The code segment would need to used copied up a few lines.
A quick update to the printf line for the last check would required as well (see below).
Is this something easy to do? Since I'm not really a coder, I'd compile and test this, but I don't really know how . If I could get an updated extinfo.cgi file from this update, I'd love to try it out. If its easy to describe, could someone tell me how to compile the change so I could try it?
A quick copy of the logic used for that:
t = 0;
duration_error = FALSE;
if(temp_hoststatus->last_check > current_time)
duration_error = TRUE;
else
/*t=current_time-temp_hoststatus->last_check;*/
t = current_time - temp_hoststatus->last_check;
get_time_breakdown((unsigned long)t, &days, &hours, &minutes, &seconds);
if(duration_error == TRUE)
snprintf(status_age, sizeof(status_age) - 1, "???");
else if(temp_hoststatus->last_check == (time_t)0)
snprintf(status_age, sizeof(status_age) - 1, "N/A");
else
snprintf(status_age, sizeof(status_age) - 1, "%2dd %2dh %2dm %2ds", days, hours, minutes, seconds);
status_age[sizeof(status_age) - 1] = '\x0';
get_time_string(&temp_hoststatus->last_check, date_time, (int)sizeof(date_time), SHORT_DATE_TIME);
printf("<TR><TD CLASS='dataVar'>Last Check Time:</td><td CLASS='dataVal'>%s (%s ago)</td></tr>\n", date_time, status_age);

They do, see highlighted field
Re: Status Age display for Last Check time
Which version of core are you using? My 4.4.1 machine is showing the duration on both the host status and service status details screen. Please provide a screenshot to clarify where you'd like to see it added if needed.
