Hi friends,

I am running Nagios 2.7-1 on Centos 5.0 32-bit hosted on Vmware ESX 4.0. The issue I am seeing on the server is sometimes nagios is showing the below messages in /var/log/messages and as the system time gets changed some false alarms gets generated. I searched it on the google but I am not able to find the correct solution. I even posted on the nagios forum and they asked me to see elsewhere why the server shitfs so much before looking at nagios.

Well, VMWare ESX sometime causes time jumps ;)

Possibly your service provider is overbooking cpu time of that ESX host ..
