I want to thank both of you for answering my question. Deleting all *.dat files is to drastic I think. This will also delete the comments.dat and downtime.dat file. Afaik they don't have anything to do with reporting. Did some more RTFM (now that I know where to look) and did come up with the following:
nagios-dir=/usr/local/nagios stop nagios rm $nagios-dir/var/nagios.log rm $nagios-dir/var/archives/*.loh m status.dat rm retention.dat Do NOT delete the following .dat files in dir $nagiosd-ri/var: downtime.dat comments.dat Not totally sure about the following -- think they can be removed. host-perfdata.dat ; default not enabled/created. service-perfdata.dat; default not enabled/created ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
