Missing notifications for one day

We had a massive day of problems happen and I had to turn off Nagios for a short time while the business implemented a ton of changes. Now we had a strange issue happen - the notification logs don't show for that day:

File: /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/nagios-03-23-2011-00.log

Notification detail level for all contacts:

No notifications have been recorded in this archived log file


Any ideas how I can get nagios to pull this data up?

I'm not sure Nagios would write to the log if the service was turned off, unless you're meaning that you just disabled notifications.

There's a logrotate daemon that rotates the log files. Check the /usr/local/nagios/var/archives file to see if it has what you need.

Next time we have a massive network change like we did I'll just change enable_notifications in the nagios.cfg file to 0 and then restart it. Thanks!

Simple and perfect solution, thanks!
