history goes away [solved: caused by CouchPotato]
I am running with ubuntu 14.40 and sabnzbd 0.7.17 This is kinda difficult to explain. I have found that when I am using couchpotato that when I download a movie, and everything seems to be done and working, that the history of that movie just goes away. the only way I can tell if anything worked is to goto my complete and incomplete folders to see what happened. I would put this in the bug section but am not sure its an undocumented feature and I screwed up on the setup (likely). This may be a problem with my couchpotato settings although my current thought is that they would not mess with sabnzbd history.
Re: history goes away
Are you sure that CouchPotato isn't cleaning up SABnzbd's history?
Re: history goes away
Thank you for the reply. I am not sure couchpotato is not doing it. I just thought I would start with you as I couldn't imagine they would mess with YOUR history files. I will now check with them. Thanks again!
Re: history goes away
SABnzbd has an API which CouchPotato uses, it contains the option to delete the history.
Unless you're having access issues with the sqlite database file (which would result in error messages),
SABnzbd will create a History entry for every finished job, successful or failed.

Re: history goes away
There are options, in couchpotato which may be the culprits. One is for "cleanup" after successful download and the other is something like "delete leftover files" (I am not at that machine so can't say for sure). Anyway, I will mess with their setup and see if it makes a difference. I can't imagine why they would mess with sabnzbd's history, however.
Re: history goes away
If you want to be sure:
Set SABnzbd's logging to +debug
Then inspect sabnzbd.log for API calls, for example with "grep -i api ~/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log" to see if there is a 'delete'

Re: history goes away
When I asked this question in couchpotato I got (I would now mark this as solved if I could):
in CouchPotato, settings enable the option (top right) to "show advanced settings".
The in settings, downloaders, sabnzbd, disable the option "Remove NZB" (the description to this says "Remove the NZB from history after it completed.")
Please add this to your forum post over at SABnzbd forums to help out anyone else looking for this there.
