Issue while adding new host for monitoring

Hello,
I am configuring Nagios Core Version 4.5.0 and nagios plugin version 2.4.8 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and have everything set properly. Now when I add a new machine to monitor like deb12.cfg, it doesn't compile when added the define service section in the file. It throws an error as below:
sudo /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Error: Service check command './check_ncpa.py -t NagiosCore123 -M system/agent_version' specified in service 'NCPA Agent Version' for host 'deb12' not defined anywhere!
Checked 9 services.
Checked 2 hosts.
Checked 1 host groups.

Now I am not sure why its happening. I did installed it 2-3 months back using same version and it did worked but now its not.

If need any more info then please let me know I will share it ASAP.

Thank You.

Hi,

I would check:
  • Host "deb12" definition.
  • Service definition.
  • Command definition.
Can you share those?

Best regards
