Nagios wont Start due to Service Definition Error

[neofire]

Hey guys, I am new to nagios (nagios core 4.0.8 to be extact), i am having a issue with my configuration and i hope someone can point me in the right direction

what i am trying to do is configure a file called servicegroups.cfg and have all the service definitions in there, and a separate file for the services.cfg, When i start nagios i get the following error when it starts

Code: Select all

Here is my servicegroups.cfg

Code: Select all

define servicegroup {
        servicegroup_name               local-service
        alias                           local-service
         members                         localhost
        register                        1
}

now i have configured a service definition for "Local-Service", and the file its referenced in is also in my nagios cfg as well

Code: Select all

NAGIOS.cfg
# You can specify individual object config files as shown below:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacttemplates.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/templates.cfg

# Hosts
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosttemplates.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostescalations.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostdependencies.cfg

## Services
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicegroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicetemplates.cfg
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceescalations.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg

i know nagios is reading the servicesgroup.cfg because if i define the servicegroup in another file eg the services.cfg i then get a error stating i have duplicate configuration

The error is in localhost.cfg

[1409639103] Error: Template 'local-service' specified in service definition could not be not found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/localhost.cfg', starting on line 96)

Post that up

#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/templates.cfg

The 'local-service' template is defined in /usr/local/nagios/etc/templates.cfg. Uncommenting that line in nagios.cfg should resolve this error.

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/templates.cfg
