One Windows machine at a time?

[4430salton]

Hello Nagios experts,

I have installed and have working Nagios version 3.5.1. I have configured at least 5 windows .cfg files and have them defined in nagios,cfg file. My problem is I can only see one windows computer at a time?!? If I delete the pound sign on more than one, then I get the error "Running configuration check...... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration." after I do the recompile "service nagios restart"

# Definitions for monitoring a Windows machine
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/windows.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/tbd-1wefrg.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/tbdwwdsxrf5.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/tbd-gwer53.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/tbd-1wds34tg.cfg

I can delete the pound sign on each of the above .cfg files, one at a time, but if I do more than one then it errors out. What am I doing wrong or what did I forget? Thanks for your help!

Can you post the last 50 or so lines of the configuration check output?

sorry not that familiar with your request, do you want to see the nagios.log file?

Post the output of the following in code wraps:

Code: Select all

usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

I am still learning about nagios and linux.

Is this what you want?

ran the command from where nagios installed itself...which was /etc/nagios
---------------------------------
Processing object config file '/etc/nagios/objects/tbd-g8217k1.cfg'...

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Please attach the config file named "tbd-bxd4zd1.cfg"

the command I ran was

/etc/nagios/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

that is what you were wanting correct?

[sreinhardt]

Yes that is what we needed initially, now we would like to see the configuration file listed above as it is causing duplicate entry issues and errors.

I was trying to keep actual computer names anonymous. hold on

sorry for not getting back sooner. but I found the problem with that file. the problem is the hostgroup called 'windows-servers' if I have that named in other windows .cfg files it wont compile. i put the pound sign in and disable hostgroups in the other cfg files and eventually everything will compile. i know this is not good nagios mgmt but I am trying to learn Centos and Nagios at the same time and it can be a bit challenging. maybe you can point in the direction of a good explanation of how to create hostgroups correctly?
