Delete a host and its services

Post by tmattingly »

Hi,

I'm a little embarassed to ask this question but one of my coworkers created a host with a wizard and we can't see to delete the host. How do you delete a host with services particularly since its been created through a wizard...

This is the status of the host below, farther down is the error... But I can't find the host in the Nagios CCM so I am at a loss on how to delete it?

Check out the "Deleting / Deactivating Hosts" section in https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... gement.pdf

I could copy and paste the text here, but the document has screenshots laid out in appropriate places and that's not going to translate very well to here.

Definitely let us know if for some reason deletion is not working for you.
