Hi Steve,
I am recieving the error message below when executing the loadconfig.pl script. Can you point in the right direction?
# ./loadconfig.pl

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

You're using Nagios 2.5, it appears. Have you set the nagios version to 2.5 in the loadconfig.pl script so that it uses v2 syntax? Also, make sure you get the latest Nagios::Config module, as only the later ones can cope with the changes to the Nagios configuration syntax.

Steve,
THANKS...i got past the check_periods by upgrading to the latest Nagios::Config version14(actually Nagios::Object). Now i receive:
# ./loadconfig.pl
Starting processing Wed Oct 25 22:02:51 2006
Connecting to database Wed Oct 25 22:02:51 2006

/opt/ACSnagios-2.5/etc/nagios.cfg
"hostgroup" is invalid or module out of date: no such method "set_hostgroup" at ./loadconfig.pl line 290

Here are my vars:
my($DBHOST) = "localhost"; # database server
my($DBUSER) = "nagios"; # database user
# (must have ins/del/upd/create/drop privs)
my($DBPASS) = "password goes here"; # database password
my($DBPORT) = 3306; # database port (mysql is normally 3306)
my($DBNAME) = "nagios"; # database name
my($PREFIX) = "nagios"; # table name prefix
my($dbh,$sth);
my($nagios);
my($CFGFILE) = "/opt/ACSnagios-2.5/etc/nagios.cfg";
my($HOSTEXTINFO) = "/opt/ACSnagios-2.5/etc/hostextinfo.cfg";
my($VERSION) = 2.5; # or 2.0


I also downloaded and installed the latest DBI version just to make sure.

Hey thanks again.

Updated Perl module version:
'Nagios/Config.pm' => '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Nagios/Config.pm'
'Nagios/Config/File.pm' => '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Nagios/Config/File.pm'
'Nagios/Object.pm' => '0.11 from /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Nagios/Object.pm'
'Nagios/Object/Config.pm' => '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Nagios/Object/Config.pm'

Object did change for 6 to 11

Just for information...Here is my Build Test of Nagios::Object version 14

Hey Steve just an FYI:
I sent Al Tobey(Created Nagios::Object from CPAN) an email with the error msg i am receiving because i am receiving the same error with his test script.
The comments below are my comments to Tobey:
I downloaded the latest module of Nagios::Object-0.14. Ran your test
> script and received the following error.
>
> # ./config_status_demo.pl -c /opt/ACSnagios/etc/nagios.cfg -l
> /opt/ACSnagios/var/status.dat
>
> "hostgroup" is invalid or module out of date: no such method "set_hostgroup"
> at ./config_status_demo.pl line 34


These are his comments [size=18]"Probably entirely my fault. I'll look into it in the next couple days."[/size]

If you think there is something else i should try, let me know

Thanks for the perl scripts and the help on getting the activated.

OK, glad to hear things are going the right way.

To be honest, with Nagios 2.5 you get the new hooks into the system and so it is possible to set it up to use databases directly, without having to load the config or log into mysql using an external program like this. However I don't know exactly how to do it, and we have Nagios 1.4 here so we have to use this method. Once we upgrade to Nagios 2, I will probably move to the native API for database use, if possible.

I know its relatively easy in 2.5 to hook in database support for logs, I just don't know how to do it for the configuration

Steve,
Seems I am not able to locate my previous post about loadlogs.pl stop working. You had replied to my initial post asking me if i had version 2.X of loadlogs. I had sent you the cksum for the loadlogs to verify if I had the correct version. As you can see I have been running Version 2.5. I you cant locate my previous post for a couple of days ago, let me know and i will resubmit my issue.

Thanks
