Re: [Nagios-devel] convertcfg and newtemplatedefiions

Post by Guest »

Hi paul,
I don't think is the same,leaving the main config file as it is, I changed
only inside host definition, just the definition of the 24x7 timeperiod (the
beginning of host.cfg follows):
# '24x7' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
name 24x7; The 'name' of this timperiod definition - can be used for template
recursion/resolution
timeperiod_name 24x7 ; The name of this timperiod, as used/recognized
byNagios alias 24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-24:00
thursday 00:00-24:00
friday 00:00-24:00
saturday 00:00-24:00
}
#timeperiod[24x7]=24 Hours A Day, 7 Days
#A Week;00:00-24:00;00:00-24:00;00:00-24:00;00:00-24:00;00:00-24:00;00
#:00-24:00;00:00-24:00

As you suggested I changed tab chars to single space.

Reading configuration data...

Error in host configuration file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg' - Line 2
(Could not parse input)

first line is right !!! And is a different error from yours
