Hi Sundar, Check your etc/objects/templates.cfg file and make sure that the following default template is defined; define host{ namewindows-server ; The name of this host template use generic-host; Inherit default values from the generic-host template check_period24x7; By default, Windows servers are monitored round the clock check_interval 5 ; Actively check the server every 5 minutes retry_interval 1 ; Schedule host check retries at 1 minute intervals max_check_attempts 10 ; Check each server 10 times (max) check_command check-host-alive; Default command to check if servers are "alive" notification_period 24x7; Send notification out at any time - day or night notification_interval 30 ; Resend notifications every 30 minutes notification_optionsd,r ; Only send notifications for specific host states contact_groups admins ; Notifications get sent to the admins by default hostgroups windows-servers ; Host groups that Windows servers should be a member of register0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST A TEMPLATE } This should be there by default, but it sounds like your configuration is missing this definition for some reason.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem in configuring NSClient ++
It seems you used a template when you created your host definition into Nagios, but you hadn't created it. Try create the 'windows-server' template (I think you can also find it in some configuration file samples with your distribution of Nagios) or remove the template of your host definition if you don't need it.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem in configuring NSClient ++
Hi chris, Thanks for the update, as mentioned byyou, my default template.cfg is in the path, "/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/template.cfg." The default host definition is intact and uncommented. No " # " in any part of the file. Is there any alternate way to cross check the configuration, am i specifying anything wrong in the configuration. Do tell me if you require any .cfg file from me to verify.
