<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi developers!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I´m using Nagios2b and I was wondering, why there are two files - status.dat and retention.dat - which store nearly the same data? As far as I can see, there is not much more information on hosts and services in "retention.dat".</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does dumping of the additional data in retention.dat need so much time/performance? Could you explain?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks a lot in advance,</FONT>
