"Expiration date" of Nagios Xi log messages?
Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2021 3:54 am
Hi
I had a thread about this topic but it was closed... so i feel I have to reopen a similar one.
My issue - which should be very very simple, but i am still nowhere - is: I want to retain data - for instance the data seen in "Host State History" for more than x days.
The only way I to set "x" is in Performance Settings/Databases. As I have not found any description of what items in this page that maps to what, I have tried to adjust ALL of them so that they exceed my current requirement, x=5 days.
But alas, every morning i reopen Nagios and find that another day of data has been truncated... example: all of my PerformanceSettings/Databases entries exceed 5 days, but this is what Host State History showed me this morning:
State History
Report covers from: 2021-12-19 00:00:00 to 2021-12-20 08:33:25
(...)
... in effect all data prior to 2021-12-19 (=yesterday) seem to have been erased.
I have asked about this before and I have received responses... but none that concretely addressed or alleviated this question. I apologize if you did and i just missed it or simply did not understand it.
This is the last item of my Nagios qualification test, and it seems such a silly little thing to be blocking the whole thing.
regards
Håkon
