Hello dear Nagios developers,
I am verry sorry if this is not right place to file a bug but I didn't
found any your bugzilla or something like this.
During configuring my Nagios I observed possible bug OR at least need
of updating manual page
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... tions.html.
ERROR:
During start, restart or nagios -v sequence following error messages:
Error: Invalid max_check_attempts value for host 'vlm-srv-ad'
Error: Could not register host (config file
'/etc/nagios3/conf.d/ae/o-servers.cfg', starting on line 39)
=C2=A0 Error processing object config files!
CAUSE:
Missing max_check_attempts for host object if check_interval for host
object is used.
I think that this behavior is bug or is not docummented that you also
have to set max_check_attempts.
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1) I created new .cnf file for my servers named servers.cnf
2) Define new hostgroup:
define hostgroup {
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 hostgroup_name=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 servers
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 alias=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 My server
}
3) Define a new host "template" (a parent for object definition
inheritance) and decrease check_interval from default 5 to 1 minute
(default from /etc/nagios3/conf.d/generic-host_nagios2.cfg)
define host {
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 name=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 server-host-template
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 check_interval=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 1
}
4) Define host for my first server:
define host {
use server-host-template
host_name MyFirstServer
address 10.0.0.1
hostgroups servers
}
5) Now $=C2=A0nagios3=C2=A0-v=C2=A0/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg will produce err=
ors from above.
6) Not documented is that I have to set also max_check_attempts. So
template will looke like:
define host {
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 name=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 server-host-template
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 check_interval=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 1
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 max_check_attempts=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 5
}
ENVIRONMENT:
Ubuntu 10.04 32bit (Lucid)
Nagios3 (Version 3.2.0, August 12, 2009) from Ubuntu Lucid deb package
