Nagios Support Forum

i add a few hostgroups to a new (additional) cfg file.
i restart nagios.
there's no sign of the new groups in the list of hostgroups.
i do a verify. it shows that the cfg w/ the new definitions are scanned.
the nagios (view) configuration page also shows the new group,
but no sign of the new group anyplace else in the gui.
permission/ownership of the new hostgroup cfg's r the same as the other groups
which r fully recognized by nagios.
i'm running nagios 3.5.1 on debian wheezy.

any hints?
tnx,
ams

Have you added any hosts to the hostgroups?

I don't believe they will show in the GUI until you have added hosts to them.

yes, there needs to be at least 1 host in the group for it to appear in the gui.
for some windows, there needs to be at least 1 service associated w/ the group too.

Do you still have hostgroups with hosts and services that are not showing in the GUI?

problem solved. it doesn't like empty hostgroups, and in some cases, serviceless host groups.
