It needs to be in one or the other, not both; either on the members
line in the hostgroup definition or the hostgroup specified in the
service definition (I think the latter is more maintainable, IMHO).

[Nagios-users] initial setups, hostgroup help requested
still getting things in order, and having a problem with adding my 1st
hostgroup. Side note, is there any kind of logging, or debugging to
see where a failure occurs? Ex. I add a new config file with the
following basic line in the main conf;
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
The file has the following;
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name webservers
alias webservers
contact_groups sysadmins
members cs0
}
The alias I just made up, the contact group sysadmin's exists and the
member cs0 is one of my webservers. In the actual server.cfg file for
that server I have a line;
hostgroups webservers
I don't know if that needs to be there as I am defining his as a member
in the hostgroups.cfg file.
Keeping things like this I start nagios and simply get;
Starting nagios:CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios
configuration.
(which is why I am looking as the nagios.log says nothing helpful.
Now if I comment out the hostgroup line in the main conf, things start,
but I would like to use hostgroups for the obvious reasons. I am sure
these and the new ones will be pretty basic as the needs are simple,
and if I can debug where it stopping would be even easier, but again,
this will be a1 or 2 sentence reply I bet!
Tnx
