delete all CCM entries

[kendallchenoweth]

Because I'm will be only the contents of the /usr/local/nagios/etc/static directory data content within a production instance of Nagios XI, I need to delete everything from the CCM. I did this once successfully, but I'm unable to recreate that effort now. What's the best way to delete everything from the CCM? I've clicked on delete for everything and deleted everything from the from the /usr/local/nagios/etc/static, but the static contents always come back along with references to some of the CCM entries references in the error. I also see these files in /usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep.

Since I've done this on one server, can I create an archive on that server and import into the other server? If so, how?

Thanks in advance!

There has to be at least something defined for nagios to verify, hence this is why it comes with a localhost host and services. If you are deleting everything in CCM and static, then the verify will fail.

but the static contents always come back along with references to some of the CCM entries references in the error.

So whenever there is a problem applying config, everything is put back as it was before apply config was done.

As a rule of thumb, in CCM:
De-activate all dependencies and escalations and apply config.
De-activate all services and apply config.
De-activate the hosts and apply config.
If all is working OK then delete the objects.

Got it. Thanks. For anybody else reading this, I've attached a minimal cfg.
