Re: Error: Template 'linux-server' specified in host definit

Ok, the long and the short of this seems to be that a bug or inconsistency may have been introduced on an update. So I've pretty much ended up rebuilding. I've fully removed nagios3 (anyone else trying this may need to use nagios rather than nagios3 - all depends on your install I guess) I backed up...

Re: Error: Template 'linux-server' specified in host definit

Here is the templates file - it is generic and hasn't been edited - so perhaps a bug of some sort has been introduced when I did an update (sudo - apt-get update) ############################################################################### # TEMPLATES.CFG - SAMPLE OBJECT TEMPLATES # # Last Modifi...
