127.0.0.1 is the default address because Nagios Log Server isn't sure which node you'd like to pull the actual address from. You can manually specify the address here:
2015-10-27 10_19_51-Global Settings • Nagios Log Server.png
That worked. I had it blank.
Interesting that sometimes it was using the IP of eth0 and sometimes it was 127.0.0.1. Must be something there causing it.
Should never use 127.0.0.1 for those URLs I would imagine.

This is something that is known and has been brought up before. As always, thanks for the feedback Mark. :D
