Log Rotations Issue

[Randal, Phil]

Hmm, does Nagios clean out old entries in retention.dat on a daily basis?  And it's this process which is failing, and it's not log-related?

I'm unlikeky to find any time to check the source in the immediate future, alas.

Phil,


Stopping Nagios completely,  and then flushing retention.dat worked for me.

I stopped Nagios, NSCA, and NRPE, then did a "cat > retention.dat " then restarted all of the nagios related services. (reloaded xinetd too which is where mk_livestatus runs for me)

The following night, log rotations worked and Current status updated correctly.   I have no real idea what this worked, but it did. I hope it helps you!
