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. -- Marc Sent from a very tiny wireless device with a very tiny unlit keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Jakscht <jakscht@vit.de> To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Wed Jan 15 04:34:53 2003 Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] URGENT::: Nagios producing 100% undetermined status...

Yes, you're right, I'm talking exactly about the availability reports... :-) > In nagios.cfg insure you have it set so nagios will remember the initial > state of hosts and services when they are first checked. > log_initial_states=1 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... ??? > Otherwise it does not know the state of a host/service when it was first > checked and will have no data to go itself to determine the up time, > unless you select "Host Up" or "Service OK" from the "First Assumed > State" in step 3 of the report.

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. > Hope this helps. Yes, nearly ;-) Thanx! ;-) Hope you or someone else knows how to help me a bit more ;-) Michael ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Take your first step towards giving your online business a competitive advantage.
