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.

Kindly post the sanitized contents of that file:

/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/172.31.0.10.cfg

Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description

Did you recently create a service and not give it a service_description?

You've done something to change the problem:

Error: Contact 'cruz' is not defined anywhere!

Not sure how you're getting a non-existent contact into a definition. Did you do any fancy config importing or anything recently? Maybe create a contact "cruz"

I think recently I have created a contact called Cruz, but didnt do any importing stuff. Could you please advise what can be done here???

[jdalrymple]

Verify the contact still exists in CCM.

Error: Contact 'cruz' is not defined anywhere!

That is the problem - that is what needs to be fixed. Either remove cruz from the defined hosts/services (again I'm not sure how you could have even gotten it there without it being defined) or make sure it exists.

You might have your configurations in a total state of disarray, it might be a good time to use the Write Config Files tool to delete/write/verify/restart. Those tools are in CCM.

Service and host details are there in CCM, removed them and configured other server, things are working fine now.
