This looks to me like a bug, where it's > trying to redefine the service instead of just using it. I'm not seeing a bug. You defined a dell-hardware service that is not a template. It's a registered service. Later, you create another service based on that registered service, so iin effect you're creating a duplicate service definition, with the same name. Nagios *should* barf on that. It's a dupe. If that's not the source of your problem, and it's just that the "register 0" in the first service definition got dropped, than I suspect there may be other pieces that got sanitized out that are causing your error. The most likely cause would be something like having "production host" set as a member of "dell-servers," or otherwise having newhost already a member of a group with the dell-hardware service assigned to it before second time you define the service. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
