I have run into a problem which took quite a while to track down, and thought it may be helpful to submit it to this list (I have not seen any information on this elsewhere). I am using Nagios 2.0b4. I have found that if there are servicegroups defined, but not actually populated, then Nagios will run just fine, and most of the standard cgi's work fine also, except for the trends.cgi which will return a "Whoops...Error: Could not read object configuration data!" This seems to only happen if the last servicegroup on the list is empty. I am not sure if the problem is in trends.cgi itself or in the methods used to parse the object.cache file. I don't mind getting rid of empty serivcegroup definitions (I usually just leave a standard set in place for each installation, and populate them as needed). Other users may find it helpful if the error message more clearly indicated the problem (all other cgi's ran ok, so it was hard to imagine why this one alone could not read the file). Otherwise, I like the new servicegroup feature of Nagios 2 (great for controlling escalations!)--thanks to all who contribute to this project. Marc |
