report : Insufficient Data

[MAD]

Unfortunately, I don't know a solution to this problem. Perhaps, you may generate some "fake" log files to replace the ones you erased but this is just some awkward "hack". An other way to hide this is to set the initial state of your nagios items to be OK (or UP). There is a value to put in your definition files that can force Nagios to assume the state is OK (for example) when it has no data about the object. I don't remember right now the name of the option.

Anyway, once your system will be in production, the percentage of unknown data will eventually decrease. Besides you will always have some unknown data from time to time (reboot of your serveur, etc...).

Thanks you Marc-André for your email!

Ok but does that means that it will be impossible to eliminate all undetermined data ?
Now, I'm still in a test phase and when I'll starting Nagios in production phase, I don't like to have any zombies or unknown datas!
It isn't any solutions?
