Hey guys i have a problem.
I installed my nagios on centos, all worked correctly.
I also added some generic hosts which also worked.
But when im adding windows-servers i get the Error: Could not find any hostgroup matching windows-servers.
I also get this error with the standard windows.cfg. i also created a hostgroup named windows-servers, same error
what can I do?

XI > Configure > Core Config Manager > Config File Management > Delete Files > Write Configs > Verify Files > Restart Nagios Core
Older Nagios Versions:

Does that resolve your issue?

you have not added a hostgroup matching whatever is on that line:
Could not find any hostgroup matching 'windows-servers' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/neu/windows.cfg', starting on line 24)
cretae a hostgroup with the same name.

Can you provide your /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg along with any other cfg files it references?

To add the missing hostgroup to your system, edit this file
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/neu/windows.cfg
And add the hostgroup to it like the example below.
Code: Select all
# Define a hostgroup for Windows machines
# All hosts that use the windows-server template will automatically be a member of this group
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name windows-servers ; The name of the hostgroup
alias Windows Servers ; Long name of the group
}
Save the file and restart the nagios process by running
As long as there are no other configuration errors, the nagios process should start up.
