Errors in config file for contactgroups.cfg
Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2014 1:33 pm
I recently tried to add a new contact to an existing group called DBA. But when I hit "Apply Configuration" I get a "Configuration verification failed" error. The snapshot of the configuration shows theses errors at the end of the file:
I looked at the config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg' and line 50 shows this:
I'll post this issue on a separate thread and try again. I'm no expert on Nagios config files but this group appears to have the same syntax as the other contactgroups in the file. Any ideas on how I can correct this would be most appreciated.
