Copy and paste the command line for the very top one (the one that has the ! in it) and paste it into the lower box and click go.

Look's like we're back at the root of the problem, do you know if this was working to begin with, or if all of this was triggered after something happened?

To be honest I started here a year ago and this is the way I found it. We have an old version of Ubuntu and old version of OpenVpn and looks like an old version of Nagios. The 17 years I have been in IT I have been a "Jack of All Trades Master of None" when it comes to Microsoft. So I am now trying learn Linux and open source this was a chance to start but as we work through this I feel like I just need to rebuild this server. This error is not killing us and was a chance to dig in and learn.

I hate to give that as an answer.. What if we try to escape out the special characters in the service definition? There may have been a bug in earlier versions, 3.x was before my time with the company...
Can we try that check command with 10\% and 5\% and C\:
Kind of grasping, but worth a shot.

Is upgrading to the newest core or possibly even XI an option?
Let's try deleting the objects.cache file and restarting the service. Let us know if this changes the error at all.
Code: Select all
rm /var/cache/nagios3/objects.cache
service nagios restart
Alternatively, we can try to create a new command, and have these services reference the new command.

I am not sure but with the OS being out of date I am thinking this could be a good time for me to one load the OS and then install the latest Nagios for experience and learning. I plan on asking boss when he gets back next week.

This did not work... I think I need to have that conversation with my boss because we seem to be trying to put lip stick on a pig and it is not working.

Really hoping that in this context the pig is the OS and not Nagios :)
How long do you figure it will take to provision another server?
