[manimurugesan]

Hello Team,

we have enabled snmptrap sender on our nagios boxes but nagiosxi server eventman.log file is not saving old logs it's showing only current log files ,

could you please let us know why it's not showing old logs


/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log

First, /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log is not meant to store historical logs

However, what version of XI are you running?
Can you show the output of the following?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi|grep eventman
ls -al /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log*

Hello Team,

We are using Nagios XI 5.5.5 and please find the below command output

cat /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi|grep eventman

Looks like there is 3.6MN in /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log and to see older items you woudl need to gunzip /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log-20190916.gz which is a file rotated out.
