Subject: [Nagios-users] Adding a CFG file for virtual machines
I would like to add a separate group within Nagios for my virtual machines. I
created a file called virtual.cfg and changed the HOST GROUP DEFINITION to the
following:
Define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name virtual-servers ; the name of the
hostgroup
alias Virtual Servers ; long name of
the group
}
For each host definition, the 'use' statement is as follows:
Use virtual-servers ; Inherit default values from a template
In the nagios.cfg file, I have added the following statement:
Cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg
When I verify the configuration files, I get the following error:
Error: Template 'virtual-servers' specified in host definition could not be not
found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg'. starting on
line 39
I think I am missing a step or two to include this new cfg file. Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

If I understand what you are trying to do:
I am putting hosts into hostgroups in the host definitions like this:
#HOST DEFINITION
define host{
use linux-server ; Name of host template
to use
; This host definition
will inherit all variables that are defined
; in (or inherited by)
the linux-server host template definition.
host_name sparky
alias Oracle RAC
address 1.2.4.4
hostgroups linux-servers
}
Note that 'linux-server' is a host template, and 'linux-servers' is a hostgroup.
