Hostgroup Issue

[jmoseley at corp.xanadoo.com]

Are '@' symbols allowed in hostnames in Nagios, other than for email
addresses?  I know special characters are invalid for internet hostnames...
If core and DNS1 are showing up, but the other hosts with '@' are not, I
think that's your problem.

May I ask why you are using special characters for hostname aliases in
Nagios?

  Yes, I do have a hostgroup.cfg file. The issue is, when I add a new host
  or service - it doesn't show up in the cgi interface but nagios has seen
  it. My entries in hostgroup.cfg file are working, however - since nagios
  do not see these new hosts and services, they can't be displayed under
  the hostgroup.

  I wish there was somewhere I could check investigate this. Here is a
  snippet from my hostgroup.cfg file

  define hostgroup{
          hostgroup_name  CANTOMENTS
          alias           SITE-CANTOMENTS
          members         core,sm at procreditadjangote,DNS1,
  ap5.7 at cantoments,sm at cantoments,switch at cantoments
          }


  define hostgroup{
          hostgroup_name  GIX
          alias           GIX
          members
  core,bhmaster at gix,bhslave at kokomlemle2gix,router at gix
          }


  define hostgroup{
          hostgroup_name  GT
          alias           GT
          members         core2gt,bhmaster at koko2gt,bhslave at gt2koko
          }

  I added new hosts ap5.7 at cantoments,sm at cantoments and switch at cantoments
  and their corresponding services. However, the cgi web interface does not
  show them - that is the issue.

  Hosts core and DNS1 are old entries and they come up alright under the
  hostgroup but the others I added recently are not showing. Here is an
  image of what I am talking about
