"Apply Configuration" not more possible

[scharft]

today i found out that any changes to a standard check "MOUNT_Var" or "MOUNT_Data" result in config error:

Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/_std-linux_mount.cfg', starting on line 102)
Error: Host escalation host name is NULL
Error: Could not register host escalation (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostescalations.cfg', starting on line 16)

i tried to fix it with the config file management, no chance.
Making changes to other services are successful.

any idea?

Hi @scharft,

It looks like your missing the name description for your host escalation, please try to correct this, go to Configure > CCM >Alerting > Host Escalations.

When that's done, go to Configure >CCM >Tools > Config File Management and follow these steps:

1. Delete Files
2. Write Configs
3. Verify ( Are there any errors? If so correct them and repeat steps 1 and 2)
4. Restart Nagios Core

Let me know if you get it resolved.

no, i'm in a config error loop, everytime i fix the "host matching" and do the needful in the CCM, i got the same error message with a new host.
How to fix the hostgroup, host escalation.cfg i don't know, please provide steps.

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data definitions. 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 file

Hello @sharft,

After reviewing your configuration files, I have a few suggestions:

1. I'm not able locate 369AV1001 anywhere in your configurations files. Can you go to the Configure > CCM > Monitoring > Hosts and search for this hosts from the text box in the upper right-hand side, and remove this host and Apply Configuration. If you get any errors, please post the output.

2. It looks like you have or are importing configuration files from another system, did you have any issues with that process? If so, there is a specific order to importing configurations.

[scharft]

Hi,

the host "369AV1001" is not in the the list => No results returned from host table.

We don't import config files from another system, this is our main system. We use a nagios worker, can this be the issue?

[scottwilkerson]

Are there any files in here?

Code: Select all

ls -al /usr/local/nagios/etc/import

[scharft]

[root@atvinag003 scripts]# ls -al /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 apache nagios 4096 Feb 6 09:57 .
drwxrwxr-x 9 apache nagios 4096 Feb 19 14:58 ..

[scottwilkerson]

Can you run the following

Code: Select all

grep 369AV1001 -R /usr/local/nagios/etc
