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.

[Nagios-users] Log Rotations Issue
Hi, I was hoping that someone on this list might have some insight to an issue that I recently ran into after upgrading my Nagios core installation to 3.4.4 (out of the EPEL Repo) After upgrading, log rotation stopped on one of my two servers, and perfdata_file_processing_commands stopped working, and whatever Job that sets 'CURRENT HOST STATE' in the main nagios logs stopped working. I upgraded both my Dev server, and my Production server, and only my Prod servers seems to have the issue. Both run the same code, and both have the same configs. I'm confident the configs as the same, as both get the configs deployed via puppet. I've googled around quite a bit, and haven't had any luck figuring it out. Has anyone seen anything similar? My feeling, based on the behavior of my Dev server is that it's not a problem with the code, but that something got stuck but I'm darned if I can figure out what. I've cleared out the logs, restarted nagios, rebooted the server. Audited configs and checked the debug output. Any help is much appreciated! -a -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Hi Alaric, I had a similar issue and never did figure it out. Unfortunately, I only had one server but it was virtual so I just built a new one from scratch and transferred my configs.

While logrotate or a cronjob will clean up the actual files, part of what I'm trying to troubleshoot what looks like the failure of some internal nagios processes, for example, some processes nightly normally adds these enteries into the top of the log: [1359608400] CURRENT HOST STATE: example1;UP;HARD;1;FPING OK - 10.1.2.3 (loss=0%, rta=1.21 ms) Which goes missing, even if I manually rotate the logs...
