Hi everybody,

I have a problem. When i configure a host in /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/switch.cfg I put all the appropriate values for the switch. I also change in the configuration of nagios the # in the next line:
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/switch.cfg and finally i reload nagios.
But when i try to access in host nagios via web this error appear:
Whoops!

Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.

Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org.

So I check configuration and its okay:

Can you post your nagios.cfg for us to review?

Sure,

How's the output of a ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var/rw look?

From your config...nagios_group=nagios3 is there a reason the group isn't just "nagios" ?

Hi,

When I put:

Code: Select all

root@nagios-VirtualBox:/home/nagios# ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var
total 36
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios   4096 ago 24 22:24 archives
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios3     4 ago 27 10:50 nagios.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios3  2870 ago 27 10:50 nagios.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios  16769 ago 27 10:50 objects.precache
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios      0 ago 27 10:50 retention.dat
drwxr-xr-x 3 nagios nagios   4096 ago 24 22:24 spool
root@nagios-VirtualBox:/home/nagios#

I dont have the folder rw.
And I change the nagios_group in the nagios.cfg file, I put nagios_group=nagios even so the error persists.

Create the rw folder, make nagios.nagios the owner:

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/rw

Yay! Are we all right to mark this one as resolved and close the topic, or is there anything else we can help you with?
