By default, Nagios log archives under
/var/log/nagios/archivesare kept forever. You can optionally enable automatic cleanup by setting thelog_archives_mtimeparameter onnagios::server.This value is passed directly to
find -mtime, so it supports the same formats asfind(for example:+365,+30,7,-1, etc.). When set, a daily cron job is created (running as thenagiosuser) to delete old files from/var/log/nagios/archives.If
log_archives_mtimeis left unset (the default), no cron job is created and archives are never deleted.
