I'm deploying a new Nagios server on Debian Linux 6. Have installed the Nagios3 
packages, am able to log into the web interface. 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:

Error: Could not add property in file '/etc/nagios3/conf.d/switch_nagios2.cfg 
on line 3. Error processing object config files.

I've created the file from scratch, but pretty basic stuff, line 3 is just the 
host_name entry:

Define host{
                use                         generic-host
                host-name          cisco2811
                alias                       Cisco 2811 Router
                address                xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                hostgroups         allhosts,network-switches
}

The documentation I've found still lists host-name as a valid entry, not sure 
what's going on, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Joel
