I've been creating a batch of meaningful host groups so that I can group relevant hosts together for reporting purposes.
After spending the time typing all the groups into the Nagios XI interface, when I try to apply configuration it fails. The Log shows this message
I have looked into the /usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg file and it only shows the hostgroups from the current active config in NagiosXI and not the version in the Core.Error: Could not expand members specified in hostgroup (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg', starting on line 216)
Could it be that Nagios is limited by size of field or certain characters in the field? A sample hostgroup name is:
I also have hostgroups embedded in other hostgroups to form a tree of about three levels.Production - Plant Equipment - Threading Line
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
