logging and report issues

[Edgar Shine]

Greetings,

I´m trying to understand how can I adjust some report issues. Maybe
someone could help me.
I manage a WAN radio network and I´m using Nagios to monitor these
devices. Radio links often have some kind of problem in the RTT in rainy
days mainly, and I want to manage statistics of these problems.

The problem is when I have a alarm report in the first scheduled
polling, I didn´t have an recovery log. And I´m pretty sure the host
recovered status during the day, Monitoring show me the host service was OK.

Here is some lines in the log files, relating to the attached file.
---BEGIN---

Logging is working if we have some alarm during he day **if** we don´t
have a critical state in the current service state when Nagios rotate
the logfile:
---BEGIN---
