nagios does not read .cfg files

[Jared Brick]

I have the same problem, but the cfg_dir gives the same results. The odd
thing is that if I move hosts.cfg file (which does have the hosts
definitions) to a different directory and then touch a new hosts.cfg
file I get an error saying it can't expand the hostgroups in the
hostgroup.cfg file. I installed nagios from rpm.

hosts.cfg sample:
define host{
        host_name               mon01
        use                     generic-host
        alias                   mon Server 1
        address                 192.168.10.1
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      1
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        register                0
        parents                 fut01
        }


nagios -v nagios.cfg
