Nagios Configuration
Hello,
I'm trying to configure Nagios however am having endless number of errors and this is taking a very long time. Could someone please look over this configuration and perhaps test to ensure it is working because I can't really test it locally. I have attached localhost.conf. It's important that this is working so I can send to my client and no more back and forth with errors.
Thanks.

Please post some of the errors you are getting. Then some expert might be better able to help you

Well the last error was this:
Error: Service description, host name, or check command is NULL
Error: Could not register service (config file '/usr/local/etc/nagios/loc
It's just everytime I fix an error there's another one so the whole thing really needs looked over.

It's just everytime I fix an error there's another one so the whole thing really needs looked over.
First all your templates are the same, just use one template, I called it host_template. I added the following lines to the template :
check_period 24x7
contact_groups admins
notification_options d,u,r
max_check_attempts 3
These parameters are required in a host definition as explained in this doc :
[http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host]
You should tune values.
Then update the use parameter in your host definitions like this :
use host_template
check_period 24x7
contact_groups admins
notification_options d,u,r
max_check_attempts 3

Sorry, I'm not sure how to do that - please advise. Thanks.
I have updated the hosts section by removing all templates and replace them by only one template.
This new template includes the required parameters that was missing in your file.
Then I updated each host definitions to use this template.
Try this file and let me know if there is more errors, I do not have lot of time right now to verify the all file but maybe I could in few hours.

I'll wait for you to look over the whole code first - I don't want my client to recieve another buggy version of this configuration file. Thanks.
You may also check the configuration using -v switch to nagios command like this :
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagi
as describe in this documentation : http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/verifyconfig.html
Replace by the path to your main configuration file.
Like this that does not impact your running Nagios process, this command just check the configuration.
I don't have environment to check this config, but if you replace 1 by 0 at line 290 as I said before, it should be ok. All required parameter seams to be there in services part.

This is because you ran the sanity check with your localhost.conf as parameter instead of the main conf file. The default main conf file is /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagi

Hello,
My client simply put localhost.cfg in the correct location and ran the following command:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios
My client simply put localhost.cfg in the correct location and ran the following command:

I have updated services part of the file by moving all common values in the template. That means all changes made in the generic_service template will be applied to all services.
I tested it :
debian:/etc/nagios2# nagios2 -v /etc/nagios2/nagios.cfg
