reporting notification log issue

[Thierry Demogeot]

Hi

I am a new nagios user.

I have nagios installed, configured and running. Set up web interface
and monitoring a few hosts/routers.

Monitoring itself and notification  via email
are both working fine as well as various Monitroing view from the web
interface.

I am trying to use Reporting, Trends, Availability, ... and have some
issue. While trying to see Trends (for service that failed a couple of
time), I got the nice png with all zero (ok, warning, unkn.,crit.,int).

Same if I try to see Alert History: there i can just see time of nagios
restart. No info regarding Alert history...whereas I received Alert by
email.

Note:
In nagios.cfg I have turned on use_syslog=1 and
I can see that Alert are logged to syslog (/var/log/syslog).
My undestanding is that cgi scripts (like trends.cgi) look into
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log to figure out what's the trend is ? But
I cannot see any Alert in nagios.log ( /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log)
? Is this normal ?


Any idea what I could have missed during the installation to prebent me 
seeing history and trends displayed properly ?

Thanks in advance
Cheers

PS: below a couple of detailled information.
