Adding a CFG file for virtual machines

[Michael Egan]

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:

Define hostgroup {

            hostgroup_name            virtual-servers ; the name of the
hostgroup

            alias                             Virtual Servers ; long
name of the group

}

 

For each host definition, the 'use' statement is as follows:

Use      virtual-servers ; Inherit default values from a template

 

In the nagios.cfg file, I have added the following statement:

Cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg

 

When I verify the configuration files, I get the following error:

Error: Template 'virtual-servers' specified in host definition could not
be not found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg'.
starting on line 39

 

I think I am missing a step or two to include this new cfg file.  Any
help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mike
