The history will normally only record anything if the ping check has
changed state (for example from OK to Warning).  If there's nothing in
the log for a particular day, it simply means it''s been pinging fine
all day (or if it's been critical all day long).

Nagios itself doesn't do anything with the performance data, but can
be configured to pass it on to flat files, a database or to a graph
for example PNP or nagiosgrapher.  I use (and recommend) PNP as it's
easy to install and use and seems to get better & better with every
new release.  http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/start
