I have been using special characters since day 1 and it has always worked, I have had no issues with it. There is no reason why I use it expect say for naming convention.<br><br>I changed sm@procreditadjangote to smprocreditadjangote and nothing changed - so I don't think that is the problem. (I might be wrong)<br>

Are '@' symbols allowed in hostnames in Nagios, other than for email<br>
addresses? I know special characters are invalid for internet hostnames...<br>
If core and DNS1 are showing up, but the other hosts with '@' are not, I<br>
think that's your problem.<br>
<br>
May I ask why you are using special characters for hostname aliases in<br>
Nagios?<br>

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Hostgroup Issue<br>
<br>
Yes, I do have a hostgroup.cfg file. The issue is, when I add a new host<br>
or service - it doesn't show up in the cgi interface but nagios has seen<br>
it. My entries in hostgroup.cfg file are working, however - since nagios<br>
do not see these new hosts and services, they can't be displayed under<br>
the hostgroup.<br>
<br>
I wish there was somewhere I could check investigate this. Here is a<br>
snippet from my hostgroup.cfg file<br>
<br>
define hostgroup{<br>
hostgroup_name CANTOMENTS<br>
alias SITE-CANTOMENTS<br>
members core,sm@procreditadjangote,DNS1,<br>
ap5.7@cantoments,sm@cantoments,switch@cantoments<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
define hostgroup{<br>
hostgroup_name GIX<br>
alias GIX<br>
members<br>
core,bhmaster@gix,bhslave@kokomlemle2gix,router@gix<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
define hostgroup{<br>
hostgroup_name GT<br>
alias GT<br>
members core2gt,bhmaster@koko2gt,bhslave@gt2koko<br>
}<br>
<br>
I added new hosts ap5.7@cantoments,sm@cantoments and switch@cantoments<br>
and their corresponding services. However, the cgi web interface does not<br>
show them - that is the issue.<br>
<br>
Hosts core and DNS1 are old entries and they come up alright under the<br>
hostgroup but the others I added recently are not showing. Here is an<br>
image of what I am talking about<br>
