Nagios is dropping downtime after restart

Post by pr0fikoss »

Hi all,

Please help to find this issue. I installed Nagios.
Everything is ok, but when i'm restarting the process of nagios, my downtime hosts and services are dropping. How it can be?

P.S. I tried to lock (via chattr) in restart time retention.dat file, but it's doesnt help

Thanks all!!!

4.2 and later have introduced several improvements in downtime (and a number of security fixes). I'd suggest upgrading to 4.2.4: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ading.html

If upgrading is not possible for some reason, can you post screenshots of before and after? Also, can you post the output of tail -100 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log? Thanks!
