Escalation not defined anywhere

Post by hockad »

From what I can tell from the audit logs no commits have been done since 2/10/2019 @ 13:19, where a host was added for monitoring. We went to update our on-call list this morning and now we are getting errors related to "an escalation but is not defined anywhere!"

I deactivate the escalation it is complaining about then it hits the next service as if it is walking through all of them. I rolled back to the last good commit and still getting the same errors. I think there is a deeper problem but can't for the life of me find it.


Here is the output from the last attempted commit.
Error: Service 'sw89.phibred.com' on host 'PassiveService' has an escalation but is not defined anywhere!
Error: Could not register service escalation (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceescalations.cfg', starting on line 367)
Error processing object config files!

Thanks.

Are there any files found in the import directory?

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
If so, lets delete them and try applying configuration again

Found the problem. Some how, some way one of my admins was able to remove a host from a service which was causing the problem. I am not sure why I didn't see it in the log files.

System is working fine now.
