We have been using Nagios3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for the past 6 months or so and ran into this issue shortly afterwards in November 2010 (our last daylight savings change). Nagios had stopped scheduling any more checks and so was not doing anything, but this was not immediately obvious.

Found the nagios 3.2.0 daylight savings bug described here, in an article dated Oct 2009 (!)
http://www.chown-r.co.uk/2009/10/nagios-schedule-checks-do-not-run-after-daylight-savings-change/

We worked around it as they suggested (set use_retained_scheduling_info=0 and performed nagios restart):

However as Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is still not distributing any version newer than 3.2.0 we are still exposed to this bug and are about to be hit by it again as another daylight savings change is about to happen.

Can an updated version of nagios3 *please* be distributed.
