Can you show the linux-server template?pelicanmedia wrote:This has not been resolved as there is obviously a bug/flaw where it ignores the host_name field in the .cfg files.
The only 'fix' that I can get to work is by removing .host.name from the host_name field. I should be able to use the full name of 'web-backups.host.name' and 'monitor.host.name' without the 2 configuration files clashing and giving me false reading and/or errors.

this includes the generic-host template, can you show that, and any it contains?

The only other reference for generic-host I can find is in
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg and /usr/local/nagios/etc/config/templates.cfg

Re: check_apt returning NRPE: Command 'check_yum' not define
I guess I'm not seeing the connection. Can you zip and PM me all of the configs under /usr/local/nagios/etc and I can test it on my test envoronment.

Re: check_apt returning NRPE: Command 'check_yum' not define

Apparently there is a REGULAR EXPRESSION MATCHING value in nagios.cfg
I have just changed

And it now seems to be working.
This is very frustrating when the values host_name values do NOT match, so the matching should not need to be turned off.
