The "np_*" files (like status logs) are created intentionally
with a timestamp in the future. Their purpose is to delay the
start of an alert in response to the rules that you have defined.
Once the timestamp is in the past, paging can start and the file
is be removed.

You should post the rules that you have defined and say what
behaviour you want to configure.

Cheers, Phil.
