Re: FW: Nagios3 switch.cfg

Attached is the .cfg file. The "Define" was done by the email client, as you can see in the .cfg file, define host is entered correctly, as is host-name.

The Nagios installation is on Debian Linux 6.0.7 "Squeeze." It was installed from the packages included with the distro. The version of Nagios is 3.2.1

All editing of the .cfg files was done via vi in Linux console, no Windows involved.

Thank you,

Joel

You also have "Define" instead of "define". Copy-typing is pretty much frowned upon for reasons like that. While at it, you may want to make sure you're not using windowsy line-endings. I know some versions of Nagios complains about that, but since you haven't specified the exact version of Nagios you're using it's impossible to say if that affects you.

One thing strikes me as odd though; Nagios has never had an error message that goes "Could not add property". Are you sure you're using Nagios and not some bastard version of it? Or perhaps you just manually copied it by re-typing the error message from memory. Please don't do that. It takes longer for you and makes those who can answer your questions doubt your competence.

Now; If you attach your switch_nagios2.cfg file, I'm sure we can solve the issue quite quickly. If you insist on copy-typing and keep getting things wrong, you'll be on your own.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.
