Hello guys, I'm having a problem to add switches (cisco) in Nagios.
I managed to add some Windows servers, however when I add the first switch and restart Nagios displays the following message:

root@debian:~# /etc/init.d/nagios3 restart
[....] Restarting nagios3 monitoring daemon: nagios3

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.
