Lost history...

[Christiaan Ehlers]

Hi All

We are currently monitoring a whole bunch of IP phones with nagios.  We have
a php scripts that runs and drags the new IP phones off a LDAP DB, it then
formats them and then adds them to files called base_hosts, base_hostgroups
and base_services file.  These base files contain the "static" hosts
(servers and other hosts that don't change).  Thus base files + ouput from
the php script = *.cfg.  The output of the php just gets redirected (>) into
the cfg file.

There is a normal shell script that runs the phps and then restarts the
nagios service (service nagios restart); the script is run by cron every
mid-night.

The problem is that we are not retaining history on anything.  I might
understand if the phones don't contain history but not even the machines
specified in the base files have history.

What am I doing wrong?  I am running nagios ver 1.1.

Christiaan Ehlers
