nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg results in
Error: Service description, host name, or check command is NULL
Error: Could not register service (config file '/etc/nagios/services.cfg',
line 36)
Line 36 and following 16 following lines:
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name switches,windows-boxes,security-boxes
; host_name iprism,shaper,sarah,ruth,rachel,penguin,noah
service_description PING
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}
It looks to me like everything is filled in. If I comment out
hostgroup_name and uncomment host_name it works fine. I'd rather go by
hostgroup for ease of administration.
Is this a bug in the checking or am I seriously missing something?
