problems monitoring apc battery back-ups

[chrisf]

Hello, I am having a problems trying to monitor APC battery back-ups. I had this working in Nagios Core but I am having problems getting this to work in NagiosXI. I can get it to work if I specify the oid when I add the host in the monitoring wizard. I have about 10 APC services I would like to monitor so I would like to create individual services, then create a service group so I could apply it to all the APC's. This is were I get the error:
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/ups_load.cfg'...
Error: Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or notification_interval value for service 'ups_load' on host 'dh140.noc.sunysb.edu'
Error: Could not register service (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/ups_load.cfg', starting on line 14)
Error processing object config files!
***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions.

If I run the following:
[root@dh143 libexec]# ./check_snmp -C public -H 129.x.x.x -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.2.3.0 -w 60 -c 90 -l '\Current Load\' -u '\%\'
\Current Load\ OK - 0 \%\ | iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.2.3.0=0

I get valid output and this is the same data I am entering in the service confguration. I tried importing the files from the nagios core installation but I get an error:
PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php on line 101

I don't mind setting this up from scratch but I need it to be able to monitor the APC's, if I can get this to work I am sure we will purchase as we like the customization and the price. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To clarify, are you saying that adding hosts individually with the wizards works fine, but what you want to do is import a config with all 10 and that's the part that's failing?

Thanks for responding. What I would like to do is set up all 10 services, then add them to a service-group and then add this to the APC host-group. It will not allow me to do this. I am not to worried about importing as I only added about 30-40 devices and would rather concentrate on getting it to work natively if possible. I hope this helps. Thanks.

You're trying to add the *service group* to a host group? Yeah, that won't work - you'd need to add services to a service group and hosts to a host group separately.

Problem I was having was I was not adding the required notification intervals, once I added these they started to work. thank you.
