After Upgrade configuration errors

[Jogarem]

Hi,

since my upgrade from version 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 I get an error
while reloading my configuration within Centreon.

Here is the output:



Nagios 2.5

Reading configuration data...

Error: Invalid service object directive '#TEMPLATE-HOST-LINK'.
Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/oreon/filesGeneration/nagiosCFG/services.cfg' on line 63.

***> The name of the main configuration file looks suspicious...

Make sure you are specifying the name of the MAIN configuration file on
the command line and not the name of another configuration file. The
main configuration file is typically '/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg'

***> 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 work with many templates (hosts and services) and also linkt service-templates to host-templates.

It' "Server i" in my signature.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Jogi

## EDIT ##
I forgot to mention that there is an error message above the title:
Array ( [sg_id] => 1 [sg_name] => otrs_server ) Array ( [sg_id] => 1 [sg_name] => otrs_server )

See the attached screenshot (nconf.gif)

## EDIT 2 ##
just to mention: otrs_server in the above message is a service-group
.

no... nagios has bug with commentary. In nagios 2.9 there are no problem. very strange.

Can you send me you configuration file services.cfg by email ?

thanks

Could you send me your email adress via PM? I will send you then a part of the services.cfg. Thanks

Do you think it could be solved with Nagios v2.9?
I don't want to upgrade today but if this fixes the problem I have to... :neutral:

.

[julio]

I'm testing with nagios 2.6... wait :)

Cool :cool:

Only to mention:
I have added two news and a screenshot in my first post.

[julio]

yes I have seen thanks

[Jogarem]

Hi julio,

any good or bad news about this?

regards
Jogarem

[passie]

After upgrading we have the same problem.
It looks like Centreon is not getting the description field from the db to insert into the cfg files.

any help would be great.

[julio]

I haven't this problem...

Can you copy here a service definition please ?

Thanks...

Hi passie,

Ok I have found.

It's not compatible with nagios 2.5 and 2.6. In nagios 2.5 and nagios 2.6 comments are ; and not # in object definitions.

so I will generate as soon as possible a new version to fixe this bug.

You can change the comment caracter in this file : INSTALLEDPATH\www\include\configuration\configGene rate\genServices.php

line 242 ~ replace

$strTMP .= print_line("#TEMPLATE-HOST-LINK", $template_link["host_name"]);

by

$strTMP .= print_line(";TEMPLATE-HOST-LINK", $template_link["host_name"]);

Yeah :cool: This works !!

julio you are great :)

[Jogarem]

and any idea about the array error message showing in my screenshot?

[julio]

Thanks ! :)

The error is juste a debug. It's ok for 1.4.2.3.

Thanks

[passie]

I did a nagios upgrade to nagios 2.10, but the problem is still there.
Even when i change the # to ;




Update: nevermind it was something with a custom script we have.
anyway after upgrading to nagios-2.10 it works fine now.

[julio]

Thanks Passie for you feed back

[WAtt]

No problem with nagios 2.9

[passie]

FYI,

Previously I said:

But after checking some other things as well it looks like Centreon was not getting de description field from the db. When I checked that specific services I found out it was linked to a template.
The services itself was running fine, but the template had no description. When I later manually edited the description field for the 3 templates which were causing the problem, a normal export could be made.
It could be that this problem was specific for our platform and/or Centreon. If not it can help somebody else to pinpoint the problem.
