Your code prints the lines for 10pm on Sunday, October 15, 2017 (from the 2nd statement in the first line of your awk code. I assume that the value you seem to want from those lines total up to zero. But the calculations in your script (from the statement on lines 2 through 10 in your awk script) are performed on every line in the file; not just those that you print (since the condition on that statement is the empty expression).

Again, you say the output is not what you want, but do not clearly show us what output you are trying to produce.

And, you have not shown us the input that you are feeding this script. So, we have no idea where the 5 is coming from either. If your input file contained the line:
Code:
,,,,,,=5

plus the first three lines shown in your output and $pattern expands to an empty string, you would likely get the output you showed us.

nagios(8)                                                             Nagios                                                             nagios(8)

NAME

       Nagios - network/systems status monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS

       nagios [-h] [-v] [-s] [-d] <main_config_file>

DESCRIPTION

       nagios  is a daemon program that monitors the status of various network accessible systems, devices, and more. For more information, please
       consult the online documentation available at http://www.nagios.org, or on your nagios server's web page.

OPTIONS

       main_config_file
              The main configuration file.  On openSUSE systems this defaults to /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

       -h     A helpful usage message

       -v     Reads all data in the configuration files and performs a basic verification/sanity check.  Always make sure you verify  your  config
              data before (re)starting Nagios. You can also use the Nagios init script to verify your configuration - try: rcnagios check_verbose

       -s     Shows projected/recommended check scheduling information based on the current data in the configuration files.

       -d     Starts Nagios in daemon mode (instead of as a foreground process).

FILES

       /etc/nagios
              Default configuration directory for nagios
