[wheely]

Hi everybody,

i've this error when trying to verify my nagios.cfg
seems
the template Generic_host is missing

i don't know where i can found Template.cfg this file,doesn't exist on my machine ?
it's not in /nagios/etc/objects/ or elsewhere

could someone explain me how to correct that error
how to put back the default generic service Template. ?

Thanks a lot

What do you have on line 2335 in the '/srv/eyesofnetwork/nagios/etc/objects/services.cfg' file? Can you show us the 'PGCOM_GRA' service definition on host 'ARC'?

Also, run the following command, and show the output:

Code: Select all

ls -la /srv/eyesofnetwork/nagios/etc/objects/

[wheely]

on line 2335 nothing special

Code: Select all

2335
2336 define service {
2337         host_name       ARC
2338         service_description     PGCOM_N2
2339         display_name    PGCOM_N2
2340         check_command   process!PGCOM_N2!85,90!85,90
2341         notes_url
2342 }

if i delete thoses lines that error appear on the next service declared
seems that the file where is defined nvalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or notification_interval value for service
can't be parsed or not found
supposely template.cfg but i can't find where thoses things are.

I am not familiar with the EyesofNetwork's version of Nagios, but I can see that you don't have max_check_attempts, check_interval, and retry_interval defined in the service config file.

define service {
host_name ARC
service_description PGCOM_N2
display_name PGCOM_N2
check_command process!PGCOM_N2!85,90!85,90
notes_url
}

I don't see a "use" directive, either so these values cannot be inherited from a template. The "templates.cfg" file is missing from the "objects" directory too.

Try this - download the file below, and remove the "*.txt" extension. Place it in the objects directory.

Add the following directive to all of your services:

Code: Select all

use    generic-service

Verify nagios configuration. If there are no errors, restart nagios.

Hope this helps.

Hi

Thanks for your help everyone
everything works fine now

add to recreate Generic_service, i'even don't know where this file is saved
and had to add it to all my equipment and tweaked a bit the way that nagios verify and export

i even don't understand why that error happened but who care now everything is ok
