Hello, @Lieta. Is the nagios process running? Whats the output of these commands?

ps -ef | grep nagios.cfg
cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg | grep status.dat

@ Lieta, What version of Nagios are you running? What are the permissions on the /var/run/ folder?

ls -ld /var/run/
ls -ld /var/run/nagios/

Try restarting nagios and seing is the status.dat file shows up:

ls -l /var/run/nagios/status.dat

The issue was nonexisting /var/run/nagios/ directory.
Thanks for solving!
