nagios ql ?

when i run "Check configuration files:" I get

Warning: Service 'CPU Usage for VMHost' on host 'XXXXXXXX has no check time period defined!
so I grab the cfg file in order to check it out and in the heading I see:

###############################################################################
#
# Host configuration file
#
# Created by: Nagios QL Version 3.0.3
# Date: 2012-04-23 15:04:05
# Version: Nagios 3.x config file
#
# --- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND ---
# Nagios QL will overwite all manual settings during the next update
#
###############################################################################



so how to I edit this file? and clear up the warning?

This is just a warning - it is not an error, so don't worry too much about it. In order to fix it though, go to the Core Config Manager->Monitoring->Services->Config name filter->host 'XXXXX'->CPU Usage for VMHost->Modify->Check Settings tab and setup the "Check period". Click on "Save" and "Apply Configuration".

Hope this helps.

thanks man!

one question tho, why is that message there? will it appear on files I actually may have to change?

[lmiltchev]

This warning (message) is there as a "best practices" indication. It is appearing because of a missing setting from the base host and service templates. It is not an error, so it will not create any issues.
