Nagios Support Forum

Hello

Just doing a demo, and running into problems

Sorry, I have zero Linux skills so guessing this might be a bit difficult, but always willing to learn.

Basically I managed to install the NSclient++ onto one windows server and then add in the interface and no issues. I then went ot add a 2nd / 3rd etc etc and cannot get it to work.

The agent installs ok, but when I try to add through the web interface it just fails

Error I can get out of it is...service has no hosts and/or service_description

wondered if anyone can help please?

Thanks, Dan

Dan,

If I understand correctly, you have installed NSClient on to Windows Server 1 with no issues, and everything is working fine.

But when you add additional interfaces (network interfaces?) through the Web GUI, you get the error message "service has no hosts and/or service_description" when you try to apply configuration.

What exactly are you trying to do - add an additional Windows Server (2, 3), or add additional interfaces to an existing Windows Server?

If you're adding additional interfaces, it looks like the service that you have defined in the Web GUI does not have a host/service description. Please navigate to 'Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Services and look for the service mentioned - make sure that you have given it a host and a service description.

Hi, thanks for your reponse

I am trying to add additional windows servers

I do exactly the same process, install the client and then configure through the web UI, but then it just errors

I think something is broken as I can't seem to update my original windows server either.

Thanks

Could you please navigate to the Nagios CLI and run the following: Please report the output to this forum. Thanks!

Does the following file exist? /usr/local/ nagios/etc/services/RYRAS075.cfg

On the Linux CLI: Does RYRAS075 exist in the Core Config Manager -> Services in the XI GUI? It should appear in this dropdown: If so, please check the files that appear for missing hosts/service descriptions.

Does not exists in the CLI, but yes its in the dropdown in the GUI

Please select it in the dropdown box in the GUI, and look through the services that show up. If you can find a service that does not have a host, that is the service causing problems - please add a host to it or delete it entirely.

that's worked, thanks

it put all the others in aswell that I tried since

So do you know what / why that happened?

Thanks

Every service that is defined needs to have a host.

If you define a service and don't give it a host, apply configuration will fail out with an error message as you described. The fix is to go into that service and assign a host.

I'm glad to hear that your system is working now - if you have any further trouble/questions, please feel free to open a new thread on the forums. Thanks!
