The cfg_dir directive doesn't work on HP-UX 11.11.
I ran the same test on Solaris 8 (with same configuration files), works no
problem.

I tried a test, but still no luck.
I have this in nagios.cfg: (I added a cfg_file directive for host R1N1V2)
# grep ^cfg_ nagios.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/R1N1V2.cfg
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services
Pre-flight:
# ./nagios -v ../etc/nagios.cfg
Nagios 2.0b3

Reading configuration data...
Error: Could not find any host matching 'R1N1V2'
Error: Could not expand member hosts specified in hostgroup (config file

I'm running on HP-UX 11.11, I'll try the same test on Solaris 8 & report
results.

My bad. I should have looked into that a little further. What if you put a
"cfg_file" directive pointing to a hostname.cfg in the "cfg_dir" just to
test that Nagios even knows where to go? I dunno, just thinking out loud
with my keyboard...

Jim,
I would like a hostname.cfg file for each host that I am monitoring.
My understanding is that I should be able to put hostname.cfg files into a
directory that I've identified with the cfg_dir directive
"cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts".
Here is the example in nagios.cfg:
# You can also tell Nagios to process all config files (with a .cfg
# extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir
# directive as shown below:
#cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/servers
#cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/printers
#cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/switches
#cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/routers
For some reason the cfg_dir directive is not working. The pre-flight
doesn't pick up any hosts in the "/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts" directory.

Do you have "cfg_file" directives for each hostname.file in your
nagios.cfg? Also, I'm a little confused on why you'd point to
"cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts". That should read
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg but it sounds like you don't want
that in favor of several other hostname.cfgs:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/host1.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/host2.cfg

I'm trying to use several host definition files, one for each monitored
system. I'm not using hosts.cfg.
When I try staring the nagios deamon I get an error that it can't find
hosts.cfg:
Nagios 2.0b3 starting... (PID=425)
Error: Cannot open config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg' for
reading: No such file or directory
Location of of host definition files (1 per host):
/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/<hostname>.cfg
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg:
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts
I compiled with these options:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios \
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/nagios \
--bindir=/bin \
--sbindir=/sbin \
--libexecdir=/libexec \
--datadir=/share \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var
Thanks.
