Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation on the main and host config files, as well as
the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
I have the following hosts.cfg file
# Generic host definition template
define host{
name generic-host ; The name of this
host
template - referenced in other host definitions, used for template
recursion/res
olution
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications are

retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information

ss program restarts

- ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
# 'host.name' host definition
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
