All hosts template trick not working

[Serveur-Faucon Surveillance]

I use Nagios 2.5 for the infos.

Actually, I get this while testing the files.

[root at srv etc]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Nagios 2.5
[...]
Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not find any host matching '*'
Error: Could not expand member hosts specified in hostgroup (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/touteslesmachines.cfg', starting on line 14)

---

After that I have tried to remove the "*" from the illegal host name, but I get the same result.

I am actually thinking that this is the wrong direction if I want a custom logo that can be clic on to get to a custom url. I could use the action_url, but that logo is the red star and can't be change, and besides I already use that for something else.

I think I'll hack around :(

It would still work. There was nothing new introduced with 2.0 along
these lines.

All your hosts are not in the TOUTESLESMACHINES hostgroup or the logo
below doesn't appear? I would expect this to work. I'm not aware of this
ever _not_ working.

hosts.

Adding a host to a hostgroup doesn't add any icons/logos ever. I've not
used PNP but the docs show that you need a serviceextinfo{} definition.
That's what causes the display of the icon. Do you have those
definitions?
