Hi,

I am running nagios 2.9 and created a new file
hosts.cfg to list all servers to be monitored.

The initial lines were taken from localhost.cfg where
it defines 2 templates and the localhost. I added
these lines:

# 'host1 ' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               host1
        address                 172.10.31.22
        contact_groups          sysadmin
        }

./nagios -v ../etc/nagios.cfg gives this error:

Error: Invalid max_check_attempts value for host
'host1'
Error: Could not register host (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg', starting on line
56)




any idea please on how to resolve this error?

thanks
