FW: Nagios3 switch.cfg

[Joel Roberts]

Typo in the email post, I do have host_name in the .cfg file, not host-name. Still returning error.

Thank you,

Joel

I'm trying to monitor our network switches and routers, the nagios3.cfg file points to /etc/nagios3/objects/switch.cfg. That folder doesn't exist, the .cfg files are all under /etc/nagios3/conf.d/, but there is no switch.cfg file. So I've created one from scratch, just trying to get the first switch in, but when I try to verify the config files I get the following error:

host_name, not host-name. Programs tend to be picky about that sort of thing...

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.
