Message text

Host name or IP address for '%s.%s' expected

Description

Next element of item (named) is of HOST type so a hostname or an IP address was expected, but not found.

The error should be probably caused by typing error (check brackets around IP address - '[...]') or by incorrect order of elements used. Another potential reason is using of extended HOST formats (regular expression for hostnames or IP addresses with mask) for simple HOST type of element. See application section 5 manual page for description of correct syntax of item.

Application cannot be configured and it will fail.
