nagios host limits

[Conor Shovlin]

Hi Marc,

The template file doesn't even get changed while we are updating.

I am going to test moving cfg files around this afternoon

Will update once I have done this

Regards,
Conor

Definitely strange. This is complaining about a completely different
and unrelated thing. Does the template 'linux-server' exist ('name
linux-server')? Is it in the same file as the host definition you are
trying to add?
        - If so, are you accidentally breaking that definition, removing the
final } perhaps or something like that?
        - If not, is the file it is in specified as a cfg_file in nagios.cfg
or in a cfg_dir? If cfg_file, what is the load order (not sure it
matters though but might be interesting).
                - Does it help you move it to the top of the load order?
