status.log and nagios.log/status.sav

[Babak Pasdar]

I must have nagios by immaculate conception then, because everything works fine. All my service and host checks are running web itnerface is accessible and working.

When I do a ps -ax I get:

 1530 ? S  0:01 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

However I dont have status.log running on my system, 

# ls -al
total 72
drwxrwxr-x    4 nagios   nagios       4096 Feb 19 19:36 .
drwxrwxr-x   16 nagios   nagios       4096 Feb 18 16:54 ..
drwxrwxr-x    2 nagios   nagios       4096 Feb 19 00:00 archives
prw-rw----    1 nagios   nagios          0 Feb 19 19:36 nagios.cmd
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            5 Feb 19 19:36 nagios.lock
-rw-rw-r--    1 nagios   nagios      20799 Feb 19 19:36 nagios.log
drwxrwsr-x    2 nagios   nagios       4096 Feb 15 04:18 rw
-rw-rw-r--    1 nagios   nagios          0 Feb 19 19:36 status.sav



nagios.cfg config:

status_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.log



cgi.cfg config:

nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 5 '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios'



Nagios Startup process:

#/etc/init.d/nagios restart
Running configuration check...done
Stopping network monitor: nagios
Starting network monitor: nagios
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
 6984 ?        00:00:00 nagios
[root at localhost etc]# find / -name status.log
[root at localhost etc]#

as you can see above no status.log generated when nagios starts.

I would appreciate any help.
