hostgroup....


I have got this error when running /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v
nagios.cfg:
 
Could not expand member hosts specified in hostgroup (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroup.cfg', line 1).
 
 
The first line of my hostgroup.cfg file is:
 
define hostgroup{
 
 
But the word "define" is in "yellow" because of a bad minupulation with
VI  !!!
I think it's could be the problem, but i don't know how to solve it !!
 
 -----------------

I'm sure that's not the case. Vi syntax highighting is a function of vi
and is not embedded within the file itself. It's probably just the last
thing you searched for. The real problem is that nagios has been unable
to parse your hostgroup definition properly, either because it contains
no members or some expansion is failing (wildcards maybe). If you could
post your entire hostgroup definition, including any external references
that it might make, that would be helpful.
