Server=Centos 6.4 32 bit

I have compiled and upgraded my existing 3.5 install to 4.0, retaining my existing configuration files.

I have a host and service definitions that call entries form templates.cfg and in turn my nested pnp4nagios entries (all listed below)
Any suggestions for the following would be greatly appreciated.

My initial -v check gave me..

I have removed these entries from nagios.cfg but now am getting...
Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description (config file '/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg', starting on line 29)
Error processing object config files!

Could you post the full contents of /nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg in code wraps ?

The above section, as it is a service, needs a "service description" directive.

These files worked fine in 3.5.0. Is this now a requirement of V4.0 ?

I assumed that Service Description would be taken from the associated definition in the services.cfg file ?

i.e.

Code: Select all

define service{
host_name                  xyz
service_description     FILESYSTEM ROOT
check_command          check_nrpe_viha!check_root
use                             VIHASERVICE
}

Was this definition meant to be a template? If so, you will need to add "register 0" to the service definition.

Thanks abrist !!

That was it, the issue is now resolved.
