Hi Sundar,
Check your etc/objects/templates.cfg file and make sure that the
following default template is defined;
define host{
namewindows-server ; The name of this host template
use generic-host; Inherit default values from
the generic-host template
check_period24x7; By default, Windows servers
are monitored round the clock
check_interval 5 ; Actively check the server
every 5 minutes
retry_interval 1 ; Schedule host check retries
at 1 minute intervals
max_check_attempts 10 ; Check each server 10 times
(max)
check_command check-host-alive; Default command to
check if servers
are alive
notification_period 24x7; Send notification out at any
time - day or night
notification_interval 30 ; Resend notifications every 30
minutes
notification_optionsd,r ; Only send notifications for
specific host states
contact_groups admins ; Notifications get sent to the
admins by default
hostgroups windows-servers ; Host groups that Windows
servers should
be a member of
register0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST
A TEMPLATE
}
This should be there by default, but it sounds like your configuration
is missing this definition for some reason. It may be commented out by
default, I can't remember - but if so, just uncomment it.
Chris

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem in configuring NSClient ++
It seems you used a template when you created your host definition into Nagios, but you hadn't created it. Try create the 'windows-server' template (I think you can also find it in some configuration file samples with your distribution of Nagios) or remove the template of your host definition if you don't need it.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem in configuring NSClient ++
Hi chris, Thanks for the update, as mentioned byyou, my default template.cfg is
in the path, /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/template.cfg. The default host
definition is intact and uncommented. No # in any part of the file. Is
there any alternate way to cross check the configuration, am i specifying
anything wrong in the configuration. Do tell me if you require any .cfg file
from me to verify. Regards,Sundar Original message From:Christopher
