Hello,
I've upgraded from Nagios 3.2.something to 3.4.1. on an Ubuntu 8.04.4 server. I'm having difficulty with the nagios.cfg file (/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg). The entire file is attached, but I believe the issue is in this area:
Code:
# You can specify individual object config files as shown below:
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/commands.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/contacts.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/timeperiods.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/templates.cfg
Code:
# You can also tell Nagios to process all config files (with a .cfg
# extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir
# directive as shown below:
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/objects
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/servers
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/printers
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/switches
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/routers
When I run the command
Code:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
I get the following output:
Code:
Nagios Core 3.4.1

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...
Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
I believe the nagios.cfg file is causing command.cfg to be read twice, and the test errors out when it sees command.cfg the second time. I'm just not sure how to get around it. I've tried moving it up a directory and updating nagios.cfg to reflect the new location, but then none of the .cfg files in /objects can see it and I get other errors.
What's the standard way this is handled? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Ted
