The Nagios configuration is, however, giving me some grief; this is my first use of passive checks however, so maybe I’m being plain stupid. I found an earlier thread which assisted me with some errors, but the pre-flight-check now returns: Nagios 2.9 Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 04-10-2007 License: GPL Reading configuration data... Error: Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or notification_interval value for service 'TRAP-CRITICAL' on host '32Red-VPN' Error: Could not register service (config file '/opt/nagios/etc/generic.cfg', starting on line 942) ***> 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. I don’t believe I have a max_attempts at all (anywhere in the file), check_interval / retry_interval is presumably either normal_check_interval or retry_check_interval. Can anyone see where I’ve gone wrong?
