Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I setup a active service for check event log by check_logfiles. The testing pattern listed as below.

ERROR123
ERROR456
ERROR567

Above pattern "ERRROR123", "ERROR456", "ERROR567" can display in nagios for every service check but When I check the "View service history". Refer to below table
It just show the first time alert "ERROR123" But "ERROR456", "ERROR567" do not report in history state.

My question is how to setup the history state so that we can view all alerts history.

If the output is newline separated, you will only see the first line as the state history will only show the first line. Does that make sense?

Hi abrist,

For my further observe, "state history" show the first message in each status. Thank you for your reply

Yep, this is the expected and intended behavior.
