Host not defined

[Nate Hausrath]

Hello,

This should be simple, but for some reason I can't get my nagios config to validate with a new server I want to monitor.  I am monitoring plenty of hosts, but this is the first one I've used the "check_http" command for.  I am following the examples found here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-publicservices.html

I am using Nagios Core 3.2.0.

The error message during validation is "Error: Host 'HGSec' specified in service 'HTTP' not defined anywhere!"

And here is my simple config.

define host {
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               HGSec
        alias                   HGSec
        address                 X.X.X.X
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_interval           30
        notification_options            d,r
        contact_groups                  admins
        register                        0
}

define service {
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               HGSec
        service_description     HTTP
        check_command           check_http
}

I'm sure I am overlooking something simple and I feel like I've been banging my head against a wall.  I probably just need to walk away from this and come back...  I just want to make sure the HTTP service is running on this server.  Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Nate
