Subject: [Nagios-users] Adding a CFG file for virtual machines

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

If I understand what you are trying to do:

I am putting hosts into hostgroups in the host definitions like this:

#HOST DEFINITION
define host{
        use                     linux-server            ; Name of host template to use
                                                        ; This host definition will inherit all variables that are defined
                                                        ; in (or inherited by) the linux-server host template definition.
        host_name               sparky
        alias                   Oracle RAC
        address                 1.2.4.4
        hostgroups              linux-servers
        }

Note that 'linux-server' is a host template, and 'linux-servers' is a hostgroup.
