Does Nagios XI keep a log entry when a host is deleted out of monitoring?

We are using Nagios XI 5.6.1 on 64bit RHEL 7.6 VM's.

Thanks
Henry

Unfortunately, our audit logs do not go this far back (January). So, we were hoping it was in a different log file as well.

Unfortunately this is the only place they are logged.

To prevent this in the future you can increase the Audit Log retention in
Admin -> Performance Settings -> Max Audit Log Age:

Thanks. We already increased the Audit logging to 180 days when we setup the program. I guess we will need to increase it farther.

Please feel free to close the topic.
