Here is my service definition: <UL DIR=LTR><UL DIR=LTR> define service { service_description NG-ETL-LINUX-PERF_swap_used display_name Linux swap used servicegroups NG-ETL-LINUX-PERF_service_group hostgroup_name NG-ETL-LINUX-PERF check_command check_nrpe!check_swap passive_checks_enabled 0 active_checks_enabled 1 check_interval 5 normal_check_interval 5 max_check_attempts 1 check_period 24x7 ; The service can be checked at any time of the day } </UL></UL> As you can see it doesn't use a template and it has only the bare minimum because I am trying to figure out what is wrong.
