Device failure and recovery dates can be misleading

[bmfmancini]

I have seen cases where the status_fail_date in the host table is showing before the status_rec_date which would make it appear the devices failed in the future

MariaDB [cacti]> select status_fail_date,status_rec_date   from host where description = 'host' \G;  
*************************** 1. row ***************************
status_fail_date: 2023-01-16 05:16:10
 status_rec_date: 2023-01-16 05:11:06

MariaDB [cacti]> SELECT @@system_time_zone as tz;
+------+
| tz   |
+------+
| EDT  |
+------+

Timezone is correct on the system and the DB

MariaDB [cacti]>  SELECT host_template_id,poller_id,status_fail_date,status_rec_date FROM host
    -> WHERE status_fail_date > status_rec_date AND DATE(status_fail_date) = CURDATE() AND DATE(status_rec_date) = CURDATE();
