Nagios Support Forum

I am trying to setup pagerduty with its nagios integration listed in this guide here.
http://www.pagerduty.com/docs/guides/na ... tion-guide

I noticed this thread and commented in it about the issues I am having with the guided steps that Scott Wilkerson kinda revised to reflect the differences in NagiosXI http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... t=5537&e=0

I am getting an error applying the configuration once adding "pagerduty" to the nagios configurations as a contact.

this is the error I am getting from the log:


Processing object config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/pagerduty_nagios.cfg'...
Warning: Duplicate definition found for contact 'pagerduty' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/pagerduty_nagios.cfg', starting on line 1)
Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/pagerduty_nagios.cfg' on line 2.
Error processing object config files!

If you add the file to your nagios.cfg like this You need to make sure you do not have a contact in the CCM with the same contact name

Yes I added that line to the nagios.cfg.

Your next steps after adding that line to nagios.cfg is to:

"Add the contact “pagerduty” to your Nagios configuration’s main contact group.

Create User pagerduty and add them to the admins contactgroup"

Do I not put down pagerduty? Do I make up a new name?

I'm guessing this contact is also in the Core Config Manager. Can you access the Core Config Manager->Contacts page, then click the "Download" button and send us that config (private data removed). I'm guessing the contact may have ended up in there as well.

Well right now I removed pagerduty contact because I was getting that error when I applied the configuration. I re-added it and placed it here. Also I included the configuration error log.

I believe you are getting a config error, because you need to have "pagerduty_notification_times" in your config, so instead of this: you should have this: Note: You should modify this through the Core Config Manager.

Hope this helps.

I just made the changes but are getting the same results

Can you apply configuration? Do you get any config errors when you run the Write Config Tool?

When I click the Write additional data I get this error:

Warning, always check the configuration files before restarting Nagios!

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

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.

Oh wait that first one isnt a error, its just my lack of reading it thoroughly.
