URGENT::: Nagios producing 100% undetermined status...

[Marc Powell]

Did you happen to change the log rotation frequency anytime between restarts? I've noticed some reporting anomolies when I've done that but nothing this extreme. I think going from daily to monthly or vice versa *might* do something odd but right now its purely speculation.

Yes, you're right, I'm talking exactly about the availability reports...
:-)

Hmm. Okay lets see what I have configured right now...
Oooooops,
I have:

log_initial_states=0

Okay, but you can tell nagios to "assume state retention"...
Think this should do nearly the same... to the result of the reports... ???

Yes, okay, I did that to.

Sorry, Tony, I absolutely can't do this.
In no case, under no circumstances.
We use nagios in a production environment and the data already collected
is essential for us.
There must be another way of getting the reports to work again.

Yes, nearly ;-)
Thanx! ;-)

Hope you or someone else knows how to help me a bit more ;-)
