Monitoring Engine Check Statistics Don't Add Up

Hello,

We are running Nagios XI 2014R2.7 on a 64 bit CentOS 6.6 VM (but was a manual install) and I'm seeing some strange discrepancies when I look at the Monitoring Engine Status screen (Admin -> Monitoring Engine Status).

I've attached some screen grabs which suggest that it is running nearly twice as many checks as are actually configured

If I look at my actual host and services the numbers are very different

And finally grabbing the output from the nagioscheck (removed the warnings as they are not applicable - missing contacts etc):

Code: Select all

Running pre-flight check on configuration data...

Checking objects...
	Checked 3869 services.
	Checked 413 hosts.
	Checked 23 host groups.
	Checked 42 service groups.
	Checked 130 contacts.
	Checked 27 contact groups.
	Checked 237 commands.
	Checked 91 time periods.
	Checked 130 host escalations.
	Checked 0 service escalations.
Checking for circular paths...
	Checked 413 hosts
	Checked 0 service dependencies
	Checked 0 host dependencies
	Checked 91 timeperiods
Checking global event handlers...
Checking obsessive compulsive processor commands...
Checking misc settings...

Total Warnings: 61
Total Errors:   0

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check
Can anyone please help me to understand this further?

Thanks

These numbers add up perfectly?

Are you referring to the number of checks run in the past 1/5/15? There is no reason that a check can not be run in each of those periods - multiple times as a matter of fact.

That's exactly what I was referring to. Thanks for clearing that up!

This is obviously not an issue and can be closed as such :)
