perfect, since I didn't know how to to specify initial assumed state "OK", I changed log_initial_states to 1 and now I'm graphing availability again. thanks.... <div>On 7/31/06, Marc Powell <<a href="mailto:marc@ena.com">marc@ena.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Only if nagios can determine what the initial state was. Normally, nagios does not log the first check of a host or service, only when it changes state. As such, when you run reporting now, nagios is probably showing the states as undetermined because it doesn't have anything in the logs to use to determine initial state (unless your selected host or service has changed state since restart). That's why you need to specify an initial assumed state and what that state should be (OK). Alternately, enabling the 'log_initial_states' option in nagios.cfg and restarting will log the first check for everything and therefore provide you with that initial state from that time forward. This is the same behavior you would have seen when you first installed nagios. -- Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: Justin Craig [mailto: <a href="mailto:jrcraig.email@gmail.com">jrcraig.email@gmail.com</a>] > Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 8:26 AM > To: Marc Powell > Cc: <a href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net </a> > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Host and/or Service availability report > > Okay that's fine, but if I go to a host a view availability, shouldn't the > time from when nagios started to current time be refected here? > > Justin > > > On 7/31/06, Marc Powell <<a href="mailto:marc@ena.com">marc@ena.com</a>> wrote: > > I indicated that the Axe approach would removed all history. -- > > "Axe: stop nagios; remove nagios.log ; start nagios; remove > archives/*. > *******That will remove all history for all hosts and > services*******" > > You'll likely need to use Assumed States for your availability > reports > until the initial state data gets re-populated. > > -- > Marc > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Justin Craig [mailto:<a href="mailto:jrcraig.email@gmail.com">jrcraig.email@gmail.com</a>] > > Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 7:29 AM > > To: Marc Powell > > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Host and/or Service availability > report > > > > Thanks Marc, I cleared the logs and al lthe old data was purged. > I > > started Nagios again and now it's not reporting availablity on any > hosts? > > > > Justin > > > > > > On 7/28/06, Marc Powell <<a href="mailto:marc@ena.com">marc@ena.com</a>> wrote: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
