Hi, We moved from nagios 3 to 4. The upgrade was done by the zypper package manager. Now we get this error on starting the service:
Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description (config file '/etc/nagios/objects/templates.cfg', starting on line 379)
(379) define service{
name local-service ; The name of this service template
service_description LOCAL-SERVICE
use generic-service ; Inherit default values from the generic-service definition
max_check_attempts 4 ; Re-check the service up to 4 times in order to determine its final (hard) state
normal_check_interval 5 ; Check the service every 5 minutes under normal conditions
retry_check_interval 1 ; Re-check the service every minute until a hard state can be determined
register 1 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
"/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg" finds no errors.
I switched register to 0 and then it chokes at the previous template set to 1. When I set them all to 0 there are no errors on starting nagios, but the application does not start.
systemctl status nagios
show this:

Adding this to nagios.cfg fixed things:
