Sharing ack's and downtime between nagios hosts

[mleo40]

Where does nagios core 4.1.1 store acks' or scheduled downtime for hosts or services?

I would then ask if I can copy that information between 2 different nagios hosts to keep them (somewhat) insync.

Thanks

They are actually stored in /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat and in /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat.

Then retention.dat file is created for when the nagios process is restarted, the status.data file is recreated every time nagios is restarted. Non persistent comments are only stored in status.dat.
