Retention?

[Adam Kennedy]

State retention data is written to the retention file at the interval
specified by retention_update_interval
The default is to write it every hour.

This is also dependent on how you are restarting nagios. Killing off the
process with -9 won't allow nagios to write it's data.

I would also check the permissions of the retention file to verify
nagios can write to it. Does that file have any data in it?
