Nagios Newbie stuck with error messages.

[jerryroy1]

I am a Brand new Nagios user. I have inherited it in my new Job. I am having trouble getting my server to run now after following this procedure to add an ASA firewall (see link below)

I am getting an error message as follows and am stuck. I am not sure what I am missing at the moment.

I have attached my hosts.cfg and my cisco-asa5510.cfg file. Can someone point out my mistake?

Best regards,
