nagios host limits

[Conor Shovlin]

Hi,



Ok we now seem to have it a little further. At your request by adding a dummy host seems to have sorted the issue.



Any thoughts as to why this may be?



Running pre-flight check on configuration data...



Checking services...

        Checked 1339 services.

Checking hosts...

Warning: Host 'test-host' has no services associated with it!

Error: Contact group 'nobody' specified in host 'test-host' is not defined anywhere!

        Checked 230 hosts.

Checking host groups...

        Checked 31 host groups.

Checking service groups...

        Checked 2 service groups.

Checking contacts...

        Checked 6 contacts.

Checking contact groups...

        Checked 1 contact groups.



Regards,

Conor

No, you don't need to. A single install of nagios can monitor

thousands of hosts and services (providing the hardware resources are

there).

You've either encountered a never-before-seen bug or you have a

genuine error in your configuration files. Please post the template

definition and a host definition that references it. Please post an

'ls -l' of the config files and the results of 'egrep "^cfg_" /usr/

local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg'.



Also try adding a dummy host in the same file that you have the

template defined --



define host{

         use                     linux-server           ; Name of host

template to use

         host_name               test-host

         alias                   test-host

         address                 1.1.1.1

         contact_groups  nobody

         }
