nagios host limits

[Conor Shovlin]

Hi,



I installed a ubuntu server and installed nagios to test our configuration on a new version of linux other than Fedora



We have the same problem in that we cannot add more than 226 hosts and we get the below error



Processing object config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/xxxx.cfg'...

Error: Template 'linux-server' specified in host definition could not be not found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/xxxxhosts.cfg', starting on line 78)

   Error processing object config files!





***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...



     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid

     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous

     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions

     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read

     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the

     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.



root at mon:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects#



We are running a single monitoring server. Does this mean we are going to have to look at our overall architecture and look at distributed monitoring or similar?



Does anyone have any experience of this type of issue?



Regards,

Conor

Hi,



Tested all the order of cfg files and it always shows the error on bottom cfg file.

If I use the cfg_dir the file order they it points at this as the source of the error.



There is nothing { } missing off the files.



I even moved the cfg files to a test Fedora machine and I get the same error. I think it may be due to the Fedora OS



Any thoughts of users on what OS will take 1000's of hosts?





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?
