[Stefan Kargl]

Hi List!

When I run: nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg I get the following error:

Nagios 1.2

Checking services...
Error: There are no services defined!
        Checked 0 services.

my services.cfg:

# Generic service definition template
define service{
        ; The 'name' of this service template, referenced in other
service definitions
        name                            generic-service

lead to major performance problems)

DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name
of service template to use

        host_name                       gateway
        service_description             PING
        is_volatile                     0
        check_command                   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  superuser
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        }

the path to the services.cfg is set correctly in nagios.cfg, group
superuser exists with users, host gateway exists

thanks
Stefan
