Configuration problems

[Bitflogger]

Hello,

I have 905 servers, Three servers have a status of active but "Not Applied". Three other servers cannot be set to active. These servers are connected to some services. The configuration cannot be completed without error.

The error is: Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/_multiple_hosts.cfg', starting on line 167)

This corresponds to a service with two servers that have a status of "Not Applied".

define service {
host_name cidns1.doit.wisc.edu,widns1.doit.wisc.edu
service_description l_dns_forward_wiwhs
use generic-linux-service
check_command check_nrpe!proc_dns4
contact_groups storage-apps2
_support_info This check verifies that CIDNS1/WIDNS1 can forward lookup requests to wiwhs.us nameservers
register 1
}

On the command line, the command: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Shows some duplicates and ends in:

I deleted the 6 hosts form the related services, then deleted the hosts. The configuration still fails. The services I deleted the hosts from have a status of "Not Applied". The error again points to a definition that includes the deleted servers. I inactivated services that had the been related to the deleted servers, if the host count was down to zero.

The apply configuration now passes!

This was the required part.

Glad it is sorted out
