<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Hi Folks<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I am trying to follow the documentation on
the Nagios Application Monitoring and I am having a few issues which if someone
could help me resolve. I have copied the files VirtualHost.cfg and
HelloWorld.cfg into my objects folder and pointed nagios.cfg to look at them. I
have altered the files to suit my requirements etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Whilst doing the pre-flight checks it is
flagging up an error; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Error: Service description, host name, or
check command is NULL<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Error: Could not register service (config
file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/HelloWorld.cfg', starting on line 16)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB> Error processing object config
files!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>When checking line 16 of the HelloWorld it
is this;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>define service{<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>This appears to me that there is nothing
wrong with it at all, but for some reason Nagios doesn’t like it. Can someone
please help me on why this isn’t working? Or possibly point me in the direction
of some documentation on how to install this Appender properly? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Many Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p>
