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.


cat objects/svc_nrpe
svc_nrpe.cfg svc_nrpe-Groups.cfg svc_nrpe-Storage.cfg

Thanks,

Please post the entire file /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/svc_nrpe.cfg for us to look at.

Attached /usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/nrpe.cfg

The file that's erroring out is actually /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/svc_nrpe.cfg - can you attach this one?

Sorry , This is the config file got it from /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/svc_nrpe.cfg location from my old EZnag nagios 3.3.1 server. Thanks.

You will need to edit that file and add the missing settings for all of the notification_options that are blank or delete the option if you do not need it and see if that resolves the issue.

Thank you. I will check it.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

edited /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/svc_nrpe.cfg and fixed notification errors, but new errors on /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/timeperiods.cfg

[root@xxxxx objects]# service nagios restart

Everytime you get an error when restarting the Nagios daemon, you will have to edit that file and correct the error.
Take a look at '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/timeperiods.cfg' on line 28.
