Error: Host 'gateway' has no default contact group(

Nagios

Nagios 2.03b
Redhat 7.3
Someone has a solution for this? please :frowning:

The error has told you the answer. Put the host “gateway” in some contact group that you have created. Perhaps “contactgroup routers” or whatever you have made.

Be sure to run nagios by hand with the -v option, to make sure you don’t have any more errors.

From the 2.0 docs.
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name contactgroup_name
alias alias
members members
}
nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/toc.html

Thank you very much for your answer.
But
it must be some other solutions.

my contacts.cfg
i think this is right?

CONTACT GROUP DEFINITIONS

SYNTAX:

“server-admins

5

Then the host definition is not setup correctly.
nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/ 
 .html#host
define host{
host_name host_name
alias alias
address address
contact_groups linux-admins

6

under contactgroup you define the contacts which get notified.
remember to define the contacts themself (with email and so on)
And for each service you need to define a contactgroup.

Thank you very much! No error. I miss contact_groups in host.cfg.

But i have a lot of warnings, so if someone has any idea to fix this

i would be very greatful.

Well, I have come to the conclusion that you have not read one word in the docs about how to setup the config files.
The errors are telling you in plain english what is wrong, but you want someone to spoon feed you the fix. Well, I’m sorry, I won’t be a part of it. RTFM at least once.
