Applying Configuration Issue

I've just tried to update my config and am getting a xi varfication error. When I view the error I get:

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.

When I run /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfv I get:

Now the original error shows an issue on line 44. Here is those definition:

When in CCM, do you have a service called FTP? Does this service have hosts assigned to it or a description?

[brandon.pal]

Weird it was missing hosts. It used to have a host :/

But it worked now.

It is worth noting that Nagios XI may report different errors than a nagios -v command will, because XI does not write out the flat files if there is an error. In theory there should never be errors with nagios -v (while using the CCM), but bugs do crop up and can cause this behavior.

Good to see it is working though. I'll be closing this thread now, but feel free to open another if you need anything in the future!
