Strange behaviour of status.dat file
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 3:12 am
Hi All,
I am working with a Nagios Core 3.2.3 installation and I am observing a strange behaviour.
When I restart the Nagios daemon I see a lot of message about
SERVICE DOWNTIME ALERT: host xxxx
In the previous days these host were been put in downtime and now they are not listed inside the state_retention_file. It may that the status_file, after the restart, take some information by other file also. I am not understanding what files because the documentation showing that when Nagios is restarted it will use the information stored in the state_retention_file file for setting the initial states of services and hosts before it starts monitoring anything.
Thanks for any help provided.
