I've just moved the installation to a new machine, and now when I restart nagios (on FreeBSD 6.2) it looses state - all checks go to grey "service not checked yet.." Make sure retention is enabled in nagios.cfg and in your host/service templates/definitions. Make sure that the user nagios runs as has write permissions to the directory/retention files specified in nagios.cfg. Look for errors in nagios.log. -- Marc </BODY> </HTML>
