It was my understanding that the logs were supposed to be automatically rotated by the nagios
application. I just originally set up Nagios on a test box and the logs were rotating just fine.
Three days ago I just completed setting it up on our production box copying over the configuration
files over exactly. The logs do not seem to be rotating.
The log section of my nagios.cfg looks like this:
log_rotation_method=d
log_archive_path=/var/nagios/archives
use_syslog=1
log_notifications=1
log_service_retries=1
log_host_retries=1
log_event_handlers=1
log_external_commands=1
log_passive_service_checks=1
inter_check_delay_method=s
I have verified that the permissions on the archives folder matches my test setup.
I'm using gentoo and have used the latest ebuild.
Help here would be greatly appricated.
Thanks.
