I believe this information is pulled from the archived log files which are locarted in /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/. The log file naming format is nagios-MM-DD-YYYY. Delete the oldest logs first and see if that provides the solution you are after.

Hi Box293,
There is not such file available at this location. Please suggest.

[root@NagiosXI archives]# pwd
/usr/local/nagios/var/archives
[root@NagiosXI archives]# ls -ltr
total 0

This is the default location. If you've changed it then it will be defined in nagios.cfg and you could run this command to identify it:

Code: Select all

grep archive /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

I don't know what is going on there.

It then sounds like the log data is in the database.

I think perhaps the Max SNMP Trap Age is the setting that needs to be changed.

Any change made here should occur on the next Optimize Interval.
