Is this a configuration issue?

Hi I recently installed Nagios 2.7 and made a new configuration from scratch. Everything works fine except when I restart the nagios process or HUP the running one. As i restart the process all the past information is lost and all the hosts and services checks goes to Pending state.

I guess, in my previous installations, nagios used to retain the past states in between restarts.

Am I missing something or something has changed lately ?

thanks
Mike

In your nagios.cfg set:

retain_state_information=1
