Nagios Support Forum

I usually able to clone a host/service but no longer able to. The error message does not tell me much. Please let me know how to fix, enclosed is a screenshot.

thanx

@jtintegration, You probably have other errors in your current configs. I'd recommend reverting to a good configuration snapshot.
You could also run the following command to check the current configs for errors:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
Also, if you click on the "View Output" icon next to the failed config snapshot you will see more specific onformation on why it failed.

Here is the config log for one of the failed event:

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.

@jtintegration, I see that you have 2 errors in your configs. To fix that please navigate to the Core Configurations Manager, then click on contacts in the left column. Find the 'test' contact in the list and open it. Open the tab that says "Alert Settings". In Manage Host Notification Commands select xi_host_notification_handler, and in Manage Service Notification Commands select xi_service_notifications_handler. Save the config. And then Apply Configuration.
