I changed this on both the servers and they are still not doing the snapshots. Do i need to restart them or restart any services in order for this to work?

The change should be picked up the next time it attempts to run the snapshots_maintenance job under Admin > System > Command Subsystem. That said, 2.1 is released now and I would recommend going to that version since it fixes a few things with Ubuntu installs.

Yes I did that on both servers and since then it stopped removing past 15 days and still does not backup to the offsite storage.

Run the following on the command line:
Then force teh snapshots_maintenance to run under Admin > System > Command Subsystem. It may take a minute or two, but the command line should then show some details about running the jobs. Please provide the output.

setup@cl-p-nagioslog01:~$ tail -f /usr/local/nagioslogserver/var/jobs.log
Running command do_maintenance with args ' ' for job id: snapshots_maintenance

That log file seems pretty quiet. In that same page, Admin -> Command Subsystem, there is a Reset All Jobs button. Hit that button, click OK, run the tail -f /usr/local/nagioslogserver/var/jobs.log command, and then run the snapshots_maintenance job again.

I think the upgrade fixed this issue. I am now taking snapshots and its rolling off indexes like it should as well.

Excellent, glad to hear it's working. I'll go ahead and lock the thread.
