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

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.

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

Thanks guys. Will look into it in the morning.

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

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.

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

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)?

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:
