That tells me it isn't using commands.cfg (assuming you haven't changed that) if it is complaining the command isn't defined anywhere.
Try reading the documentation. I spent hours going through it, teaching myself how Nagios operates and refrained from posting here until I had an issue that was out of the ordinary (i.e. beyond the scope of the documentation). Even 9 months later I'm still tweaking different services to make things work better. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/toc.html It will take a while to understand not only how Nagios works, but how to use all the available options and how it can fit in with your environment and needs. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Hartl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 3:22 PM To: Nagios-Users Subject: [Nagios-users] Errors after installation Hi all; I've installed Nagaios 3.0.3 on a FreeBSD system (6.0-release) sparc64 Installed from freebsd package tree. I copied the sample configs to be used as normal configs and i get the following errors when i try tofire it up (during the preflight) Error: Service check command 'check_local_load' specified in service 'Current Load' for host 'localhost' not defined anywhere!

Error: Service check command 'check_local_swap' specified in service 'Swap Usage' for host 'localhost' not defined anywhere! Error: Service check command 'check_local_procs' specified in service 'Total Processes' for host 'localhost' not defined anywhere! I'm assuming that my localhost.cfg isn't configured correctly but I'm new to nagios so I couldn't tell ya to begin with. I have included a copy of my localhost.cfg file below. All help appreciated.
