check_nagios nagios and nagiostats not updating

This service turned critical after upgrading from 4.08 to 4.11. When I checked /usr/local/nagios/bin I noticed that the nagios and nagiostats files stopped updating after the upgrade to 4.11. I'm not sure what this means or what caused this. The status.dat file is updating.
The service command is
command_line $USER1$/check_nagios -t 20 -e 5 -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat -C /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
Thanks

I'm not sure I follow, these are binaries, they don't update.

What's the output if you run it manually?
Code: Select all

What is the version on the check_nagios plugin?
Run this and post back.
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -V
Did it get updated when the core was updated?

I had upgraded to plugins 2.11, I re-installed plugins 2.03 just now and that issue is fixed. The other issue I had with 2.11 was all of my services that were in a unknown state because the host was down, those all went to critical with the updated check_snmp. Those are all back to unknown with plugins 2.03 installed

You can define this in the newer 2.11 version of the plugins:
-t, --timeout=INTEGER:<timeout state>
Seconds before connection times out (default: 10)
Optional ":<timeout state>" can be a state integer (0,1,2,3) or a state STRING

Can you think of any issue with staying with 2.03?, I would like to do that until I have time to play with these new options you mentioned. Also if I'm reading correctly, If I add the following to nagios.cfg "host_down_disable_service_checks=1" that should prevent nagios from running service checks on a host when its down correct?
Thanks

Staying on 2.0.3 should not be a problem.

As long as you're on core 4.1.x then yes you are right, when the host is down HARD service checks will not be executed.
