Lame Service definition Warning?

[rajasegar]

Nagios Xi Ent Ed 2014R1.2


Can someone advice me what is this lame definition warning?

Warning: Ignoring lame service dependency (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg', line 69)
Read object config files okay...


define servicedependency {
dependent_service_description MIMIX Repl Group2
host_name MY1PIRR1
service_description MIMIX Repl Group1
inherits_parent 1
execution_failure_criteria n,
notification_failure_criteria n,
dependency_period 24x7

}

I believe you are missing the dependent_host_name:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... dependency

[sreinhardt]

The only thing you are missing, is a dependent_host_name, which is likely why you are getting a warning.

dependent_host_name: This directive is used to identify the short name(s) of the host(s) that the dependent service "runs" on or is associated with. Multiple hosts should be separated by commas. Leaving this directive blank can be used to create "same host" dependencies.

Thanks guys. Will look into it in the morning.

[rajasegar]

Code: Select all

define servicedependency {
       dependent_host_name                      MY1PIRR1
       dependent_service_description            MIMIX Repl Group2
       host_name                                MY1PIRR1
       service_description                      MIMIX Repl Group1
       inherits_parent                          1
       execution_failure_criteria               n,
       notification_failure_criteria            n,
       dependency_period                        24x7

}

Still the same lame warning for the above. I already applied the Configurations.

I have a bunch of dependencies without dependent_host_name and no warning

Code: Select all

define servicedependency {
       dependent_service_description            Thread: ORB.thread.pool
       host_name                                esbwasp01,esbwasp02
       service_description                      Thread: MessageListenerThreadPool
       inherits_parent                          1
       execution_failure_criteria               u,c,
       notification_failure_criteria            u,c,
       dependency_period                        24x7

}

define servicedependency {
       dependent_host_name                      MY1PIRR1
       dependent_service_description            MIMIX Repl Group2
       host_name                                MY1PIRR1
       service_description                      MIMIX Repl Group1
       inherits_parent                          1
       execution_failure_criteria               n,
       notification_failure_criteria            n,
       dependency_period                        24x7

}

You have the dependent_host_name set the same as the host_name:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... dependency

dependent_host_name: This directive is used to identify the short name(s) of the host(s) that the dependent service "runs" on or is associated with. Multiple hosts should be separated by commas. Leaving this directive blank can be used to create "same host" dependencies.

host_name: This directive is used to identify the short name(s) of the host(s) that the service that is being depended upon (also referred to as the master service) "runs" on or is associated with. Multiple hosts should be separated by commas.

Does the message still point you to line 69?
Is the servicedependency definition that you showed us copied from the CCM (View Text Config) or from the actual config (/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg)?

[rajasegar]

Code: Select all

define servicedependency {
       dependent_host_name                      MY1PIRR1
       dependent_service_description            MIMIX Repl Group2
       host_name                                MY1PIRR1
       service_description                      MIMIX Repl Group1
       inherits_parent                          1
       execution_failure_criteria               n,
       notification_failure_criteria            n,
       dependency_period                        24x7

}

You have the dependent_host_name set the same as the host_name:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... dependency

dependent_host_name: This directive is used to identify the short name(s) of the host(s) that the dependent service "runs" on or is associated with. Multiple hosts should be separated by commas. Leaving this directive blank can be used to create "same host" dependencies.

host_name: This directive is used to identify the short name(s) of the host(s) that the service that is being depended upon (also referred to as the master service) "runs" on or is associated with. Multiple hosts should be separated by commas.

Initially dependent_host_name was left blank and I changed it after you advised it was missing.

It is pointing to the same line and the definition came from usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg.
Where is this CCM (View Text Config) located. I just cannot seem to find it.

Right about here:
