When I am scheduling downtime on a host or service the date format is US.
How can I change the date format that is used by Nagios?

You can change this in XI in your Configure->My Account settings, and I'm not sure how affects the Core interface underneath, but I know the config setting is located in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file.
date_format=us
Try changing it in XI first, and see if that fixes it, if not here are the options for the nagios.cfg file:
us MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS 06/30/2002 03:15:00
euro DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS 30/06/2002 03:15:00
iso8601 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS 2002-06-30 03:15:00
strict-iso8601 YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS 2002-06-30T03:15:00

It was the nagios.cfg file that needed updating.
Change was immediate, no reboot or restarting of services required.
This would be a good configuration option to have in the GUI.

Good point and I agree that this would be a very nice little feature to add.
