Configuration verification failed.I have edit file by hand

[Zagon007]

Hi,
I have an error when I try to apply configuration :Configuration verification failed.

Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg' on line 64.
Error: Service notification period 'K134_notification_times' specified for contact 'k134' is not defined anywhere!
Error: Could not register contact (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg', starting on line 16)

I edit this file by hand and now Nagios xi give me error.

I am using the vmware nagiosxi-5.4.4-64.ova image,
How can I do for recognize/replace/recreate the contact file and time period from nagios xi?

Help me..

thank you in advance.

Walter

This command should help you identify issues with your configuration:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Hi Braian,
There are no serious mistakes.

I think my problem is due only to the fact that sql or nagios xi does not recognize the contacts.cfg file because I modified it by hand.

Is there no way to get this file back to its original state or recreate it from scratch?

I can not believe my project goes into smoke for a file

If your installation files still exist in your /tmp folder, you can find the file at:

Code: Select all

/tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/nagioscore/nagios-4.2.4/sample-config/template-object/contacts.cfg

[Zagon007]

Thanks a lot for your support,
don't find These files, but I found a handwritten backup of the contacts.cfg that I had made before the changes.
Copying or importing it however does not work the same.
what I do for work?

Please run the following command and post the result.

Code: Select all

su nagios
cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
./reconfigure_nagios.sh

Also read this document regarding the error. It's likely that the NagiosXI instance is unable to resolve "localhost"

And please post the output of this command:
