"Expiration date" of Nagios Xi log messages?

Hi I had a thread about this topic but it was closed... so i feel I have to reopen a similar one. My issue - which should be very very simple, but i am still nowhere - is: I want to retain data - for instance the data seen in "Host State History" for more than x days. The only way I to set...

Re: What to do with excessive log file/database file sizes?

Hi Thank you for your references to the documents... i have tried to study them but I have to concede that i still dont find any answers to my questions. So let's take something very concrete: I have been trying to limit the file /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log from growing excessively. The documen...

Re: Performance Graphs for Services always empty?

Re: Performance Graphs for Services always empty?

Hi again, The npcd command gives me this, not sure what to make of it but it does not look good I presume? [hb@localhost nagvis]$ systemctl status npcd.service ● npcd.service - LSB: Nagios NPCD Initscript Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/npcd; bad; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) s...

Re: Nagvis chooses wrong icon for "service up but in downtim

Hi I did re-post the question to the nagvis issue board you referred to... but sad to say it has not caused an avalanche of responses :-) I am not really sure how to proceed.... as nagvis is a community effort, should I try to fix the issue myself and simply commit it?... but if so, what happens nex...

Nagvis chooses wrong icon for "service up but in downtime?"

Re: "Expiration date" of Nagios Xi log messages?

Thank you again, my personal fog seems to be lifting slowly :-) If the log shown when viewing Performance Graphs->View Host History indeed contains all state transitions , I am ok. But I still have not been able to find out where and how to set the retention period? I cannot seem to map the paramete...
