circular parent/child chain error

[SavaSC]

Hello,

I made a change inside of NagiosXI and now it won't save. I backed out the change, but it still won't save. It gives me the following error:

Code: Select all

Error: The hosts 'Internal_Router' and 'NagiosXI_Server' form or lead into a circular parent/child chain!

I've looked at the config files for these two hosts in the Parents and HostGroups sections, but I'm not seeing any place that causes a circular loop. Any ideas where I should be looking? Perhaps I'm incorrect on what it is that could be causing this issue. For clarity sake, can someone please give me a heads-up, please?

Thank you for your help.

Go to the CCM->Hosts, click on the "View Text Config" actions button (the diskette icon) next to 'Internal_Router' and 'NagiosXI_Server' hosts and show us both configs.

Thank you for your help.

These configs look fine. It would be easier if we could take a look at the failed configuration snapshot. Go to Admin->Config Snapshots, find the latest failed config snapshot (it would be colored in red), click on both, the "Download" and the "View Output" action buttons, and email us both files at [email protected].
Also, send us your latest profile:
Admin->System Profile->Download Profile
