For a standard install/configuration of nagios-1.x or 2.0 from source,
nagios uses flat files to store status information. They are located in
the path specified by 'status_file' in nagios.cfg. Archived status files
are stored in 'log_archive_path'. Typically /usr/local/nagios/var/ and
/usr/local/nagios/var/archives respectively.

Nagios-1.x natively supported mysql and pgsql databases for status
information. Nagios-2.0 requires an external module. In both cases
special actions are required on your part to activate those and you
would know if you did it.
