Nagios Support Forum

Having issue migrating servers to Nagios XI because I think that the nagiosadmin is acting as the active contact.
Below is the error message from the configuration. This has caused my Monitoring Engine to shutdown.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Reading configuration data...
Read main config file okay...
Error: Contact 'nagiosadmin' is not defined anywhere!
Error: Could not add contact 'nagiosadmin' to host (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/dell21.advcorp.int.cfg', starting on line 16)
Error processing object config files!

Does the nagiosadmin contact exist and active? It is part of the default configuration and can break things if you deactivate it.

To work around these issues you could:

Deactiveate the services + host for dell21.advcorp.int.cfg
Edit the host and remove the contact

Do one of these things and then try applying config. If it doesn't work try the next.
