I would suggest using the status.sav file instead since you won't have
to read through the *entire* log file and find the most current entry
for each particular device. If you do so you should adjust your
retention_update_interval in nagios.cfg appropriately. The format of
this file is slightly different than status.log and unfortunately I
can't find the email that detailed it's contents.
