Re: [Nagios-users] hostgroup definition
If the hostgroup.cfg is included by nagios.cfg even indirectly, "nagios -v nagios.cfg" will include it in verification. It's not just verifying syntax or something else that can be done file-by-file, it checks to make sure that all references in the entire config to hosts and groups are defined and so on. --Rick On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 9:01 AM, Gezina Dekker wrote: > Assaf, > > Thank you fro the reply, but the command does not give me any reply-back.

Re: [Nagios-users] hostgroup definition
When you run /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg (this is the default path your may be different) It verifies the other configs you have specified in Nagios.cfg. Your errors are coming from nagios.cfg verification. Does that make sense?

try running this command
/path/to/nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg
this will give you some indication as to your problem.

[Nagios-users] hostgroup definition
Hi all,
Two things remain for me, one emails from nagios, two is hostgroups, and I
looked at all the documentation and, cannot find my error...
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name Linux_group
alias No_Call-Out
memberssvrlinux01
}
When I restart after adding this host-group using split.cfg I get the
following.
Running configuration check. CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your
Nagios configuration
I have server a definition for it. if I comment the lines out, the resatrt
is successful.
I am just missing something???
Regards and thanks for all the help so far, learned a lot,

Nope. I do this for pretty much all of my hosts, actually. For
example, all printers are in a "Printer" host group, to associate
services as well as group all printers together. Additionally, I have
a host group for each location we have machines in, so a printer in
Barrow would be in both the printer hostgroup (for the services) and
the "Barrow" hostgroup (for the location). Makes it easy to find all
the machines in barrow, as well as all the printers.

It doesn't cause any confusion, statistical or otherwise, to put a host
in more than one group, does it?

The entries themselves, no. But it did seem to me that the approach to which things go in what files -- as exemplified by the default sample configs -- changed a bit, no? Or do I just think that because the "segregate in cfg_dirs by type of object; everything in its own file" approach made more sense to me? > > It seems to me that it would be much easier to maintain if member > > machines were placed in hostgroups *in each member machine's cfg file* > > (cause yes, I'm using a separate file for each machine). > > You have been able to do that since 2.x.

I did see that, when I actually looked far enough. :-) For what it's worth, it doesn't *actually* say that if you are going to declare an object a member of a hostgroup, you *do* still actually have to *define* it somewhere, which it probably should. Certainly it's implied, but I'm not sure that's good enough, as complicated as Nagios is. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Not really, no, but the hostgroup needs to be defined somewhere. When it
is, you can do something like the following
define host {
use template_with_all_required_variables
hostgroups hostgroup1,hostgroup2,hostgroup4,hostgroupn
}

You do have to define the hostgroup but you don't have to specify members there. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#hostgroup hostgroup_members: This _optional_ directive can be used to include hosts from other "sub" host groups in this host group.

[Nagios-users] Hostgroup definition
I know that lots of the documentation about how to configure Nagios's cfg files is in transition from 2.x (where you mostly did it one way) to 3.0 (where you mostly do it another way), but there's a point I'm not clear on. It seems to me that it would be much easier to maintain if member machines were placed in hostgroups *in each member machine's cfg file* (cause yes, I'm using a separate file for each machine). This doesn't seem to be the way Nagios expects me to do it, and I don't see that there's a way to do it this way; you appear to have to define the hostgroup in some amorphous 'somewhere', and then add all the hosts to it *there* (which means that there are two places you have to change when you add a new host, which I'm not fond of). Have any of the DBMS config builder front-ends been updated to 3.0 yet? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
