Warning messages can generally be ignored, as they are only recommended messages to fix. The only problem would be a lot of extra typing that isn't needed is all. Generally, you specify host_name as follows for more than one host: host_name host1,host2,host3 Regards, Max -- OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.

You shouldn't be seeing Duplicate warnings unless the definitions are duplicated. You don't want duplicates and probably have them defined in both your old and new configs, both of which you've told nagios to use (cfg_file in nagios.cfg). Bear in mind that if you're using the cfg_dir directive there, it's recursive and may be catching you as well.. -- Marc -- OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.

Re: [Nagios-users] duplicate services definition
In fact, to mantain a good configuration design (using automatic scripts and nice language to users) I want duplicate service names since I'm defing the same service for each host. I just want to know if this will bring me any problem at all. 2009/6/1 Marc Powell m...@ena.com On Jun 1, 2009, at 3:03 PM, Livio Zanol Puppim wrote: Hello!

You could have 10,000 HTTP service_descriptions as long as they're associated to 10,000 different host_name's. -- Marc -- OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
