Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

when I am running the below command in root mode in Nagios server i am getting the below warning message.

command - /apps/tools/nagios/bin/nagios -v /apps/tools/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Warning Message:-
Checking for circular paths between hosts...
Checking for circular host and service dependencies...
Checking global event handlers...
Checking obsessive compulsive processor commands...
Checking misc settings...
Warning: Nothing specified for illegal_macro_output_chars variable!

Could someone please help me to resolve the warning message..

Thanks in advance.

Edit the line in nagios.cfg that begins with illegal_macro_output_chars to look like this: If you don't have a line like that, add it.

Thanks for your help..

That particular line was not there in nagios.cfg file, after i added it I am not getting the warning message.

Sachikanta

Glad I could help!
