[Nagios-users] Getting state retention to work

[Rob T. <rt...@li...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get state retention to work, but it doesn't seem to like 
me very much.  I've set the options in nagios.cfg the way I think they 
are supposed to be set (see below) but the retention file continues to 
have a size of 0 bytes and state is not retained between restarts.  I am 
using v2.9.  Any ideas?

Here's what I think are the pertinent configuration options from nagios.cfg:

retain_state_information=1
state_retention_file=/etc/nagios/state.dat
retention_update_interval=1
use_retained_program_state=1

Since I don't seem to be even able to get to first base here, I'm rather 
at a loss of what to do next.
