Right up until I add back in a legacy host/service definition...
define host {
use production-host
host_name newhost
alias New Host
address y.y.y.y
}
define service {
use dell-hardware
host newhost
}
dell-hardware is a registered service that is applied to all hosts in
the hostgroup dell-servers. It is _not_ a template (register 0)
that can
be applied to arbitrary service definitions.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/templaterecursion.html
"The third variable is register. This variable is used to indicate
whether or not the object definition should be "registered" with
Nagios.
By default, all object definitions are registered. If you are using a
partial object definition as a template, you would want to prevent it
from being registered (an example of this is provided later).
Values are
as follows: 0 = do NOT register object definition, 1 = register object
definition (this is the default). __This variable is NOT inherited;
every (partial) object definition used as a template must
explicitly set
the register directive to be 0.__ This prevents the need to
override an
inherited register directive with a value of 1 for every object that
should be registered."

When drafting this email I used a sanitized version of my configs,
and neglected to add the "register 0" that is in the configuration
for the "define service { name dell-hardware .... register 0 }"
Unless I'm missing another area where I should be using "register 0"
my issue is still unsolved. I'm reading the errors as one single
error, with the first line being a bit of detail on why it couldn't
register the service.
Error: Service 'Dell Hardware' on host 'myhost' has already been defined
Error: Could not register service (config file .... newhost.cfg on
line XX)
Loosely translated as: Error: Could not register (use) service
'Dell Hardware' on newhost because 'Dell Hardware" has already been
defined on 'myhost.'
My claim is that Nagios parses "hostgroups dell-servers" and
incorrectly creates a dynamic service definition that should not be
registered, or maybe it's just registering it.
Remember, it works the old way. It works the new "trick" way.
However, the problem is I can't blend the solutions, where both host
definitions are using the same (non registered) service definition.
Something is wack. Maybe it's me :)
