## <a id="status-data"></a> Status Data

Icinga 1.x writes object configuration data and status data in a cyclic
interval to its `objects.cache` and `status.dat` files. Icinga 2 provides
the `StatusDataWriter` object which dumps all configuration objects and
status updates in a regular interval.

    # icinga2-enable-feature statusdata

Icinga 1.x Classic UI requires this data set as part of its backend.
