Hi, new to Nagios so please bear with me. I queried the list archives and there were some similar threads but several with no answers so I hope I have better luck.
Nagios Version: 2.5, from distro binary distribution Platform: Debian Linux Sarge 3.1r4 Stable Problem: - If I run the graph with First assumed host state: Unspecified I get 100% Indeterminate - If I run the graph with First assumed host state: Host Up I get 100% Up - If I run the graph with First assumed host state: Host Down I get 100% Down - If I run the graph with First assumed host state: Unreachable I get 100% Unreachable etc.. Obviously something is not working properly. I want a trend of the different states in time so I can give my ISP some info on where the problem is and see if we can discount their failures from our bill ;-] Important note and possible lead to the root cause: I used the default logging options in my config: log_file=/var/log/nagios2/nagios.log log_rotation_method=d log_archive_path=/var/log/nagios2/archives Nevertheless, this configuration did NOT store the archives in archives directory as expected so I changed to: log_archive_path=/var/log/nagios2/ This did NOT work either because the nagios web interface was expecting log names like: nagios-01-19-2007-00.log instead of the ones nagios has been generating which are of the form: nagios.log.X.gz I decompressed all the gz files and create soft links so the web interface could display past notifications: poseidon:/var/log/nagios2# ls -l total 140 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root adm 12 2007-01-22 09:54 nagios-01-19-2007-00.log -> nagios.log.4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root adm 12 2007-01-22 09:53 nagios-01-20-2007-00.log -> nagios.log.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root adm 12 2007-01-22 09:52 nagios-01-21-2007-00.log -> nagios.log.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root adm 12 2007-01-22 09:50 nagios-01-22-2007-00.log -> nagios.log.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios adm 9265 2007-01-22 11:17 nagios.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios adm 52767 2007-01-22 06:25 nagios.log.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios adm 45689 2007-01-22 06:25 nagios.log.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios adm 10469 2007-01-21 06:25 nagios.log.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios adm 10419 2007-01-20 06:25 nagios.log.4 It is my guess that my log problem is related to the trending problem given some of the threads that I read on the user's mailing list archives. Any help greatly appreciated. Perhaps there is some extended documentation on the trending interface and on the log file configuration from that included in the package install?
