Re: [Nagios-users] Log Rotations Issue
Hmm, does Nagios clean out old entries in retention.dat on a daily basis? And it's this process which is failing, and it's not log-related? I'm unlikeky to find any time to check the source in the immediate future, alas.

I stopped Nagios, NSCA, and NRPE, then did a cat retention.dat then restarted all of the nagios related services. (reloaded xinetd too which is where mk_livestatus runs for me) The following night, log rotations worked and Current status updated correctly. I have no real idea what this worked, but it did.

Re: [Nagios-users] distributable downtime delete commands?
Thanks a lot Paul, We have been achieving the same goals with pynag scripts and DEL_SVC_DOWNTIME command. Is there anyone on the list that might take it into their hands to keep documentation up to date, maybe even write a routine in nagios to ask for every supported external command, so that external scripts know what external commands are supported ? The pynag team depends on the documentation to generate library functions, but we have found a few glitches in both external commands docs and the nagios.cfg docs. Anyone willing to help us on getting it right deserves a beer.

I don't see them in the online documentation: http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php?category_id=6version_id=0btnSubmit=Update only lists delete commands that require a downtime ID. For anyone else who's interested, here are the external command formats for these new commands. They're very handy for automating downtime deletion since downtime IDs are hard to obtain for that purpose.
