Deleted Hosts & Services Still Showing in Views

[bvinisky]

Hi,

I have several hosts that have been deleted and no longer show up in the configuration area, yet they're still present in the Views section along with their services. How do I get rid of them? I see there's a nagiosql_delete_host.php script, but i'm hesitant to use it without knowing what exactly it does.

Thanks,

Bryant

Try these solutions and see if one of them resolves your issue.

Thank you kindly. Deleting the leftover cfg files from /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/ & /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/ did the trick.

Good deal!

I have this issue. The host configuration files were not in either host or services directories. I tried all recommended solutions but the hosts continue to populate my service and host group views in XI.

RCIJoe,

We are going to have to look to see where these files are, can I have you run the following changing THE_HOST to the name of your host

Code: Select all

grep -lir "THE_HOST" /usr/local/nagios/etc/*

The only files returned were

/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/config.php
/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg
/usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg

Thanks

I think I misinterpreted "THE_HOST" and typed the nagios host name the first time. When I use the host name for the one I deleted I get no returns.

Lets run

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
service nagios start

Then look to see if the host still shows up in the web GUI

OK, had some other issues so I rebooted the XI server. Ghost hosts are gone. Thank you, JM
