Re: [Nagios-users] NAGIOS 2.3.1 version issues
Hi all: As I'm trying to verify the configuration file, I'm getting this error message. We have this HP Cluster setup and NAGIOS is installed there. There are 18 nodes(n1 through n18) n18 being the main node. All the nodes are up and running. Can any one help me out?

Re: [Nagios-users] NAGIOS 2.3.1 version issues
Hey All, Its only a wild guess but there is a space in your config file name config file '/opt/hptc/nagios/etc/xc- hostgroups.cfg', xc- hostgroups.cfg Should it not be xc-hostgroups.cfg. Check your nagios.cfg file where you specified the above filename and verify it is the same as the actual hostgroups.cfg file.

Re: [Nagios-users] NAGIOS 2.3.1 version issues
Hi Marc, Thanks you for the valuable response. As NAGIOS has been allready installed by the people who were working earlier, I have no clue if they have configured it properly or not. the only links that seem to work are the ones which i specified. ( under reporting link the sub-links that qare working are alert history,alert summary, notifications and event log. In configuration link , view config sublink is working). I have a question. If i recongifure it, with the main config file and stuff, would it overwrite it and is it going to be ok or would it mess it up? Any Suggestions? thanks for the help in advance best, Sri On 3/5/07, srikalyan tangirala [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All: I'm using NAGIOS 2.3.1 version.Installed and configured it with authenticated users as nagiosadmin and guest.
