Upgrade Error - Timeperiod duplication

[Phil.Pearce]

Hi,

Ive just tried to upgrade using the gui.

Got this messgage

Warning: Duplicate definition found for timeperiod 'xi_timeperiod_24x7' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg', starting on line 392)
Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg' on line 395.

Ive looked in the file:

define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name xi_timeperiod_24x7
alias 24x7
name xi_timeperiod_24x7
saturday 00:00-24:00
friday 00:00-24:00
thursday 00:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-24:00
sunday 00:00-24:00
}

is only defined once..

Any ideas? as i cant get past this now

[tgriep]

Could you post the full /usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg file so we can check it for any other errors?
Then, login to the server as root, run the following commands and post the output.

Code: Select all

grep -R timeperiod_name /usr/local/nagios/etc/*
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -vv /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Thanks

@tgriep has the correct answer - just adding my two cents.

from the core config manager page, you should see a 'manage config files' link - try running a delete, write, and verify - this will delete all of your local config files, write them out from the DB, and then verify with nagios once again. if corruption has occured at a filesystem level, this generally resolves it.

[tgriep]

Thanks @tacolover101 for the help.

[Phil.Pearce]

the upgrade error was resolved.

I do have a load of these

Warning: Duplicate definition found for service 'VMTools' on host hostname' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/hostname.cfg', starting on line 136)

Ive looked at the cfg and it looks fine, ive deleted the files, written and verified (the above errors)

Any ideas?

I

[tgriep]

The service 'VMTools' is defined in another file and when it gets to the file in your example, determines it is a duplicate so you would have to search another config file for that service.

[Phil.Pearce]

not sure I understand.

from another forum post, i was told to delete/write and verify the config files.

When i did verify

When i look at the cfg file it looks ok, there is no duplication for the service. eg... vmtools

DC1-PAOS-MECW01.cfg

[ssax]

You have the services attached to the hostgroup:

Code: Select all

hostgroup_name         HOSTGROUPNAME

Those mean that every host in that hostgroup will get the service, that is why you are getting the duplicate warnings.

You can attach a service to a host, a hostgroup, or both.


Let us know if you have any questions.


Thank you

[Phil.Pearce]

Yes, sorry I searched/replaced the original text as it identifies the company/service

[lmiltchev]

What ssax was trying to say is that if you had a service added to a host AND ALSO added to a hostgroup, that this host is a member of, you would see a "Duplicate definition found for service" warning. To clear the warning, you would need to remove the service from either the host, or the hostgroup (leave it in one place only).

In any case, configuration warnings are not errors, so they won't prevent you from applying configuraiton (restarting nagios), so you don't need to worry about them too much. It is nice to have them cleaned up though.
