Nagios 2.0 performance for reports

[Brian T. O'Neill]

I hate replying to my own emails, but figured I'd post the solution to
my problem incase anyone else goes looking.

I was getting 100MB daily log files due to the logging of passive
service checks. I didn't realise that passive checks are all logged in
detail even if you don't have stalking turned on for a host. So, having
several thousand passive checks happening every 5 minutes or so was
creating very very large log files. Removing the logging of passive
checks greatly increased the speed and the availbility and trending
applications are actually useful now.
