Can you run the following commands and post the output here?
Code: Select all
ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var/
ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var/archives
Can you post your nagios.cfg file so we can check the log rotation settings?

The archive folder is gone for sure.
Run this to create is and set the permissions.
Code: Select all
mkdir /usr/local/nagios/var/archives
chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/archives
chmod 775 /usr/local/nagios/var/archives
Check these settings in the nagios.cfg file for the archive folder and to setup daily log rotation.
Code: Select all
log_archive_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/archives
log_rotation_method=d
If you have to change these settings, restart nagios by running

The archives get created at midnight so you will have to wait until tomorrow for the first archive file to be created.

Do you mean that your nagios.log file has all of the data in it since the server was running?

I found this example that you can try out for splitting the file.
