<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Notification State Issue</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> 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: <BLOCKQUOTE>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 </BLOCKQUOTE> 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...

Normally, retention data should be saved in a file named status.sav. -- Andreas Ericsson <a href="andreas.ericsson@op5.se">andreas.ericsson@op5.se</a> OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 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. </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
