Newly defined hosts are not displayed on web Interface
Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:00 am
Dear Nagios User,
I'm fighting with an issue for long hours.
I'm using Nagios 3.3.1 installed on an Ubuntu Server (10.04.3 LTS).
I began with Nagios for 2 weeks, please be indulgent.
I was able at the beggining to add printer monitoring, switch, windows server etc...
Then I had trouble with permissions, and tried to change permission on the /usr/local/nagios/var. That's probably the main mistake I made because troubles begun from here...
NOW, I wanted to add our Firewall in the switch.cfg definition file. Here the cfg file:
(I voluntary changed the IP Number in x.x.x.x)
Then I checked the Nagios config , no error/warning and I restarted it. But my Firewall doesen't appear on the Web Interface.
Where am I doing a mystake ? How to correct this...
When I make change on an existing windows server or on the only switch I monitore for the moment, no problem on the web interface, my changes appear...
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
