Config/Startup error - Added new hosts, broke the service

[ctrenholm]

Running Core Version 3.2.1 and recently added some new hosts however this has caused the service to no longer run. Obviously my config is the issue however I can't figure out what I am missing.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Startup error looks like this
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-bash-3.2# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios start
Starting nagios:CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running the config check - /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
produces this error
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems like it's formatted correctly. Try starting with one host, and then added your list back into it a few at a time. See if the problem lies in a hostname with a typo.
