Verify config file error after host added

Post by steven.giang »

Hi All,

I have spend hours on this issue and tried to resolve by researching on the net as people mentions this seem to be very common, however I just couldn't figure it out why. Much appreciated if you could please advise.
1. Nagios 4.0.8
2. Centos 6.5 Final
3. Before first windows server host add

Go to CCM -> write config files

Code: Select all

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
These are the time period config which it look correctly,

Re: Verify config file error after host added

Post by Box293 »

I believe this is the source of your problem:

/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
   timeperiod_name                     eg xi_timeperiod_24x7
the eg in front should not be there.

You have a few like this, the eg should not be there.

Also, do you have Nagios XI? These look like Nagios XI configs but I'm confused because you've logged this in the Core support forum.

Thanks you Box293, that fixed the issue :)

However, there is another problem. Once I completed adding the first host. The ost does not appear on page "service detail" or "host detail" where UI giving an overview of the status.

But I can find the host and service locate on page CCM.

Very strange, and I must of missing something some setting after the upgrade. new host added does not appear in the overview details

When you added the new host and services, did you check the "Active" box to make it active?
If not, go back to CCM and edit them and check that box, save and apply the config.
