But when I did, it complained about this error after running -v: Error in configuration file 'nagios.cfg' - Line 2859 (NULL value) Here's a sample of my definition: define servicedependency{ host_name ciscoasa-router service_description PING dependent_host_name ciscosw-router dependent_service_description PING execution_failure_criteria o notification_failure_criteria w,u } Please advise.
