Greetings. I'm working on a distributed nagios system, with two "master" servers running the web interface to view status, and several dozen "slave" servers running the actual tests. So far it's working pretty well, but I've run into a very strange situation with one of the slave servers, where the syntax check is failing, but not telling me what the problem is.

The config files themselves are, as near as I can tell, correct. They are generated by a self-written script, whose output is working flawlessly for both master servers and all but one of the slave servers. I've examined the files as well as I can (short of spending several hours going through them line-by-line, this particular slave is monitoring about 200 hosts) and haven't found anything wrong. Has anybody seen anything like this before? Is there any way to get more detailed information about what is causing the problem? -- John Simpson, KG4ZOW Programmer at Large http://www.jms1.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
