I made adjustment to the Nagios.cfg file and error message again

I am also uploading the nagios.cfg file and hosts.cfg (line 88 & 89 are highlighted in red )
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data definitions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read

Could you post this exact cfg file instead of a docx?
And comment out(take out) the cfg_dir in your nagios.cfg that you added in since you added in the cfg_file already.

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg

Instead of using name could you switch it to host_name? Here's an example.

Code: Select all

define host{
        use                     linux-server            ; Name of host template to use
        host_name               xi
        alias                   xi
        address                 192.168.4.125
        }
# Define a host for the local machine

define host{
        use                     linux-server            ; Name of host template to use
        host_name               nna
        alias                   nna
        address                 192.168.4.45
        }

When I use "name" it doesn't show up as a host in my Core.
