Hi,
> I would like to add a separate group within Nagios for my virtual machines.
> I created a file called virtual.cfg and changed the HOST GROUP DEFINITION to
> the following:
Firstly, your hostgroup does not appear to have any members defined within it ?
ie.
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name smtp-servers
alias mail servers
members smtp1,smtp2
}
Secondly,
Your 'use' statement should typically be that of an 'unregistered'
'define host' definition and not a hostgroup definition.
ie.
define host{
name virtual-host ; The name
of this host template - referenced in other host definitions
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host
notifications are enabled
notification_period 24x7
event_handler_enabled 0 ; Host event
handler is enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap
detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process
performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain
status information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain
non-status information across program restarts
contact_groups admin,techsupp
notification_interval 60
notification_options d,u,r
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 10
passive_checks_enabled 1
obsess_over_host 1
register 0 ; DONT
REGISTER THIS DEFINITION
}
as the template, and something like :-
define host{
use virtual-host
host_name smtp1
alias (smtp1) incoming smtp server
address ???.???.???.???
check_command check-host-alive
}
for the actual virtual host.

bright blessings,
Mark
