Do not use empty attributes:
define host{
        host_name                       testserver
        alias                           test server windows
        address                         192.168.0.5
->        parents
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_period                    24x7
        process_perf_data               0
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        contact_groups                  nagios-admins
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            d,u,r
        }

define host{

        alias                           test server windows
        address                         192.168.0.5
        check_command                   check-host-alive

Betreff: [Nagios-users] newbie questions v. 2.0


Hello,

i know that probably this is a low level questions but i have read the 
documentation of nagios and still have some questions...

i have created a hosts.cfg file in order to place my servers, and i started it 
with a w$ 2k3 vmware virtual server on my machine.... heres the file:

define host{
        host_name                       testserver
        alias                           test server windows
        address                         192.168.0.5
        parents
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_period                    24x7
        process_perf_data               0
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        contact_groups                  nagios-admins
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            d,u,r
        }

here's my question:

i can resolve hte name from my mahcine of the server, i did not created a 
nagios-admins group, and i have the original command.cfg file, and when i 
insert in my nagios.cfg the line so it should search for hosts on the new file 
i cant restart nagios and i get an error CONFIG ERROR!  Start aborted.  Check 
your Nagios configuration

heres the line:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios//etc/hosts.cfg

just below object configuration file

i have checked according to the docs, the files and it's order...but i really 
can't find the error, i would really like to know how to add hosts and services 
to nagios...
