Nagios Notification State Issue

[Dale Wilhelm]

Thanks for the reply...

I haven't changed any of the setting for retention since the system was deployed. I tried deleting the retention.dat and status.dat and restarting and the problem persists. I even tried different user perms on the file and no go... Here are my settings nagios.conf:

retain_state_information=1
state_retention_file=/usr/local/nagios-3.2.1/var/retention.dat
retention_update_interval=60
use_retained_program_state=1
use_retained_scheduling_info=1
retained_host_attribute_mask=0
retained_service_attribute_mask=0
retained_process_host_attribute_mask=0
retained_process_service_attribute_mask=0
retained_contact_host_attribute_mask=0
retained_contact_service_attribute_mask=0

If I am not mistaken I believe all of that is set by default... I don't see any status.sav files. Just the status.dat...

Have you disabled retention data lately but kept an old retention data
file around? Normally, retention data should be saved in a file named
status.sav.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
