Error: Could not find any hostgroup matching windows-servers

[deeznutz]

Hey guys i have a problem.
I installed my nagios on centos, all worked correctly.
I also added some generic hosts which also worked.
But when im adding windows-servers i get the Error: Could not find any hostgroup matching windows-servers.
I also get this error with the standard windows.cfg. i also created a hostgroup named windows-servers, same error
what can I do?

Does that resolve your issue?

you have not added a hostgroup matching whatever is on that line:

Could not find any hostgroup matching 'windows-servers' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/neu/windows.cfg', starting on line 24)

cretae a hostgroup with the same name.

[avandemore]

Can you provide your /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg along with any other cfg files it references?

To add the missing hostgroup to your system, edit this file

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/neu/windows.cfg

And add the hostgroup to it like the example below.

Code: Select all

# Define a hostgroup for Windows machines
# All hosts that use the windows-server template will automatically be a member of this group

define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  windows-servers ; The name of the hostgroup
        alias           Windows Servers ; Long name of the group
        }

Save the file and restart the nagios process by running

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

As long as there are no other configuration errors, the nagios process should start up.
