Sorry for confusing you.
I just had another look at the lines that scrolled off the screen and I have to admit that I have this message too. But I guess that the last lines show no errors and the return code (echo $?) is 0 (that was what I was referring to when I wrote that I have no errors). Please run the configuration check using the options -vp which creates a file called objects.precache in the var folder and verify that the hostgroup foo contains the members you expect.

Just saw this. Interesting that you don't see the issue. Is there any chance of a global config that allows/disallows this? To me, it's odd how the error says it doesn't know of the group, '!hostgroupC', as if the '!' is part of the hostgroup name.

Thanks,

It's not a template and is definitely not empty.

It's pretty easy. Create two hostgroups with hosts in them. Then create a third hostgroup with hostgroup members where one of them is included, and the other excluded.

Notice that the error says "could not find group '!hostgroupC', as if it doesn't know how to handle exclusions in the hostgroup_members line.

Icinga 1.4.0

Is it true that I cannot do a hostgroup exclusion while attempting nested hostgroups?

define hostgroup {

                hostgroup_name foo

                hostgroup_members hostgroupA,hostgroupB,!hostgroupC

                }

Error: Could not find member group '!hostgroupC' specified in hostgroup

Any chance that this has been corrected in a newer version. I'm aware that 1.6.0 is out.

I cannot confirm your problem so please verify that hostgroupC exists (and is not a template or maybe an empty hostgroup).


I did create such a setup using Icinga 1.4.0 before writing the other posting ;-).

Attached a (modified) localhost.cfg containing the following definitions:

define hostgroup{
    hostgroup_name hg1
    members localhost1
}
define hostgroup{
    hostgroup_name hg2
    members localhost2
}
define hostgroup{
    hostgroup_name hg3
    hostgroup_members hg1,!hg2
}

>From what I get that is similar to what you described. Attached an objects.precache containing the following lines:

define hostgroup {
    hostgroup_name    hg1
    members    localhost1
    }

define hostgroup {
    hostgroup_name    hg2
    members    localhost2
    }

define hostgroup {
    hostgroup_name    hg3
    members    localhost1
    }

.../bin/icinga -vp complains about some missing services but there are no errors.
<objects.precache>
<localhost.cfg>
