Nagios logs are not populating

[BSAkula]

Hi Everyone,
Good morning, from last 4 days my nagios logs are not populating but all checks are going smooth with out any issues.
Which entry I missed, I am not sure. You help if very useful to me. Please let me what to change and where to change.
Thank you in advance.

Bhargava.

I'm not sure I 100% understand what you mean... As in nagios/var/nagios.log is empty? Are you able to provide some screenshots and/or specifics?

Hi JSMurthy,
Thank you for reply. Yes the /var/logs/nagios/nagios.log is not populating with what nagios is doing. Like sending for hostchecks and all. I updated around 800 checks and only check updated in log is about the present server status.
fyi:

Nagios doesn't log every check it runs, that would be a HUGE performance hit and an enormous amount of information. Nagios will log state changes, external commands, passive checks, etc, but the different logging settings can be configured in the main nagios.cfg file.
