Configuration Error - 3.0.b3

[Dennis Huenseler]

Hello out there,

 

the error means that you have a host in your windows.cfg which looks like

 

define host{

        use             windows-server  ; Inherit default values from a template

        host_name       winserver       ; The name we're giving to this host

        alias           My Windows Server       ; A longer name associated with the host

        address         192.168.1.2     ; IP address of the host

        hostgroups      allhosts        ; Host groups this server is associated with

        }

 

Where the host is defined as a member of the hostgroup allhosts which isn't defined anywhere. Take a look at your configs where your hostgroups are defined and search for allhosts. If you can't find a matching entry just comment out the line

        hostgroups      allhosts        ; Host groups this server is associated with

in your windows.cfg.

 

 

Kind regards, 

Dennis Hünseler

I have just installed nagios 3.0b3 on Linux box 2.4.21-47.ELsmp #1 SMP. I am trying to monitor windows machines and when I have uncommented windows.cfg line from /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg and ran configuration check, I am getting following errors.

*********

# bin/nagios -v etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

 

Nagios 3.0b3

Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not find any hostgroup matching 'allhosts' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg', starting on line 25)

Error: Hostgroup has no members (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg', starting on line 47)

 

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

 

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid

     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous

     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions

     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read

     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the

     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

 

It works If I have comment out windows.cfg line in nagios.cfg - No error. But I also like to monitor my windows boxes.

So what I am doing wrong? Attached are cfg.cfg, nagios.cfg & windows.cfg
