Well, I've been doing the same thing as you under netsaint/nagios every hour for almost 8 years now and haven't experienced this. I'd be surprised if a new issue appeared with nagios-3 so I'm leaning more toward some config issue. Does retain_status_information appear in the service definition in objects.cache? Are you sure that the hostname/ service_description are exactly the same between reloads? How about retain_nonstatus_information? Try enabling that. I'm not 100% certain which each controls but I use both. Also, just because it commonly causes strangeness, be sure you don't have multiple nagios daemons running at the same time. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
