It was a permissions issue on the archived log files:
Solution:
chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/*
chmod 664 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
chmod 664 /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/*
Kind regards,

Host Availability and SLA Report incorrect vs state history
Today we had a host in Nagios that was down for 9 hours.
We can see this in the host state history (and all notification we got) But both SLA report and Host availability show 100% UP. How is that possible?

Re: Deploy smart dashboards
Ok, thank you for the information.
I'll check version 1.4 soon and further granularity will indeed be needed when people start to discover these smart dashboards.
Making them all global and using there own naming convention while be hard to find the right dashboard

Email address not allowed as username anymore since upgrade to 1.3
Hello, I've noticed that in NagiosXI 2026 1.3 it's not possible anymore to change the username to an email address anymore, which we always did for AD users. Error: Usernames can only contain letters, numbers, dots, underscores, and hyphens. Must enter valid username, display name, and email for eac...

Smart dashboard data table performance and save column state
Hi, When adding a data table to a smart dashboard based on the host status of a host group it needs a "long" time to load. For example: 6 seconds for a host group with 180 hosts in it Search for that same host group itself only takes less than a second to load. The performance impact comes...

Re: 2026R1 upgrade; performance graph font size too small
Hi @jrice02, Also check topic: https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76556 I can confirm that since 2026R1.0.1 the deep red color is fixed. The font size and small legend are indeed CSS issues. For now, I fixed it manually on our QA environment: I know, it will not be supported, but didn'...

Re: 2026R1 Dashboard issues
Hi, I can confirm some improvements since version 2026R1.0.1: - the graphs in the smart dashboards are working now - also the red color is less dark for the critical status But the scaling issue still remains: - adding a bigger host group status overview to a dashboard makes it unreadable - the lege...
