Re: [Nagios-users] FW: Nagios3 switch.cfg
Attached is the .cfg file. The Define was done by the email client, as you can see in the .cfg file, define host is entered correctly, as is host-name. The Nagios installation is on Debian Linux 6.0.7 Squeeze. It was installed from the packages included with the distro. The version of Nagios is 3.2.1 All editing of the .cfg files was done via vi in Linux console, no Windows involved.

Re: [Nagios-users] FW: Nagios3 switch.cfg
I think I found the issue, it looks like the templates.cfg.gz didn't unzip and put out all the default templates. After extracting it and slicing it up into the standard .cfg files, I'm able to add hosts now, will try switches next.

[Nagios-users] FW: Nagios3 switch.cfg
Typo in the email post, I do have host_name in the .cfg file, not host-name.
Still returning error.
Thank you,

I'm deploying a new Nagios server on Debian Linux 6. Have installed the
Nagios3 packages, am able to log into the web interface. I'm trying to
monitor our network switches and routers, the nagios3.cfg file points to
/etc/nagios3/objects/switch.cfg. That folder doesn't exist, the .cfg files
are all under /etc/nagios3/conf.d/, but there is no switch.cfg file. So I've
created one from scratch, just trying to get the first switch in, but when I
try to verify the config files I get the following error:
Error: Could not add property in file '/etc/nagios3/conf.d/switch_nagios2.cfg
on line 3. Error processing object config files.
I've created the file from scratch, but pretty basic stuff, line 3 is just
the host_name entry:
Define host{
use generic-host
host-name cisco2811
alias Cisco 2811 Router
addressxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
hostgroups allhosts,network-switches
}
The documentation I've found still lists host-name as a valid entry, not sure
what's going on, any help would be appreciated.
host_name, not host-name. Programs tend to be picky about that sort of thing...
