I have recently turned on the dead pool settings how often does this process run?
I changed the default setting from 2-5 to 5-10, and I was wondering when I would notice the hosts and services to start removing!
Can it be run manually?
I have several servers that have been critical for 100 plus days that need to be removed!
Or it is 5-10 days from dead pool being enabled?

Re: Nagiosxi Dead Pool Settings
Deadpool is poorly documented - sorry for that.
My understanding however though is that items weren't placed into the deadpool until after you enabled it. It is only after the deletion time is expired that the hosts are actually deleted. It isn't based upon real time in the problem state, but rather time remaining in problem state after entering the deadpool.
What I'm not certain of is if your hosts will disappear after 10 days, or after 12 days...

I have since changed my settings to 1 - 2 days!
Is there a way to manually run the process?
How long after the 2nd day does it take for the servers to be deleted?

Re: Nagiosxi Dead Pool Settings
The process actually runs regularly - every 5 minutes. Running it manually wouldn't gain you anything - except maybe 4 minutes and 59 seconds?
The problem is that your servers were only VERY RECENTLY added to the deadpool. They have to be in the deadpool for the duration of your expiry to actually get aged out.
