Hi Team,
Facing the below issue :
1) Apply changes failed after : cp CFCS_sd_vms.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
Code: Select all
Error: Could not expand dependent service(s) (at config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg', starting on line 196)
2) Even after disabling the service dependencies in CCM , still apply changes fail.
3) Nagios core validation passed after : cp CFCS_sd_vms.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/static
Code: Select all
[nagios@localhost sd_work]$ ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/static/

What is your objective? Do you want to manage these hosts/services in the CCM or you want to manage them "manually" (keep them in the static directory)? If you imported them to the DB, then you would need to remove them from the static...
Do you see any errors in the GUI, when you try to write configs, and verify files?

The objective is to maintain some files like service dependency manually.
Below is the output from writeconfig:

You do not have any config errors, so you should be able to apply configuration successfully. Are you having any issues with applying configuration at the moment?

Yes, the issue am facing is that if the dependency file is kept under "static" folder no errors :

However when the same file is kept in "import" folder I get the below error :
But nothing seems to have been added yet in /usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg
Error: Could not expand dependent service(s) (at config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg', starting on line 184)

You shouldn't be putting these configs in the import directory... You said:
The objective is to maintain some files like service dependency manually.
If you are planning to manage service dependencies manually (keep configs in the static), then you would need to remove them from the CCM...
CCM > Advanced > Service Dependencies > <dependency> > Delete > Apply Configuration
Note: Make sure you delete all of the service dependencies from the CCM before applying configuration.

The whole idea of putting service dependencies in import was they could be managed from CCM ( modify/delete ) etc...
Logically it doesn't make sense if static works , why would import fail ?

My understanding was that you didn't want to manage service dependencies in the CCM, but rather "manually". Anyway, if the import is failing, this means that you have something in the DB that is causing the issue.
Go to the CCM > Tools Config File Management, and click on "Delete Files", "Write Configs", and "Verify Files" in exact same order, and check for config errors. Are you seeing the same error as before?
Error: Could not expand dependent service(s) (at config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg', starting on line 184)
What do you have on line 184 in the servicedependencies.cfg?
If you are not able to figure this out by reviewing the errors in the output, I would recommend that you open a support ticket via our support center here:
https://support.nagios.com/tickets/, and provide your latest profile in the ticket.

I'll stick to keeping servicedependencies in static.
you can close this ticket.
Thanks for the support.
