[Nagios-users] Adding a CFG file for virtual machines
I would like to add a separate group within Nagios for my virtual
machines. I created a file called virtual.cfg and changed the HOST
GROUP DEFINITION to the following:
Define hostgroup {
hostgroup_namevirtual-servers ; the name of the
hostgroup
alias Virtual Servers ; long
name of the group
}
For each host definition, the 'use' statement is as follows:
Use virtual-servers ; Inherit default values from a template
In the nagios.cfg file, I have added the following statement:
Cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg
When I verify the configuration files, I get the following error:
Error: Template 'virtual-servers' specified in host definition could not
be not found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg'.
starting on line 39
I think I am missing a step or two to include this new cfg file. Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Well, the obvious question of course is - have you defined a
"virtual-servers" template anywhere in your "virtual" config file? When
you define the "use" statement in a host definition, there must be a
template of the same name (since thats what the "use" statement means).
Check the Nagios docs on Object Inheritance (under Advanced Topics in
2.x docs, or via links in the Object File configuration section).

Hi,

Firstly, your hostgroup does not appear to have any members defined within it ?
ie.
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name smtp-servers
alias mail servers
members smtp1,smtp2
}
Secondly,
Your 'use' statement should typically be that of an 'unregistered'
'define host' definition and not a hostgroup definition.
ie.
define host{
namevirtual-host ; The name
of this host template - referenced in other host definitions
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host
notifications are enabled
notification_period 24x7
event_handler_enabled 0 ; Host event
handler is enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap
detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process
performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain
status information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information1 ; Retain
non-status information across program restarts
contact_groups admin,techsupp
notification_interval 60
notification_optionsd,u,r
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 10
passive_checks_enabled 1
obsess_over_host1
register0 ; DONT
REGISTER THIS DEFINITION
}
as the template, and something like :-
define host{
use virtual-host
host_name smtp1
alias (smtp1) incoming smtp server
address ???.???.???.???
check_command check-host-alive
}
for the actual virtual host.

If I understand what you are trying to do:
I am putting hosts into hostgroups in the host definitions like this:
#HOST DEFINITION
define host{
use linux-server; Name of host template
to use
; This host definition
will inherit all variables that are defined
; in (or inherited by)
the linux-server host template definition.
host_name sparky
alias Oracle RAC
address 1.2.4.4
hostgroups linux-servers
}
Note that 'linux-server' is a host template, and 'linux-servers' is a hostgroup.

The file is being included. You just don't have a host template
named "virtual-servers".
For reference, "host template" != "hostgroup". Go back to the
documentation.
