Problems Deleting Host

[Brooks]

(NagiosXI Version 5.5.0)

- There is a host that I have purged from the "Hosts" and "services" area and applied the configuration. However, I keep getting alerts (we have hourly alerts setup for some of our hosts)that the host is down. When I click on the unhandled from Host Status Summary, I then see this host and when I click on the host and attempt to delete the host from the reconfigure option, I get redirected to a "Configuring Options" menu. Initially I had successful purge messages display when I first did the delete function. If I go to the Host group grid, or the Host view, I DO NOT see this host, but this host is somehow orphaned and I have no idea how to purge.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Bob

I believe I resolved this issue by following this article: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=27 and running the following commands from terminal:

ps -ef | head -1 && ps -ef | grep bin/nagios
(confirmed multiple instances of nagios)

service nagios stop
killall nagios
service nagios start

- Strangely notes this is very unusual with the newer version (i'm at the latest 5.5) and more common in older versions.

I will post back if the problem returns.

Thanks for the update as well as posting the (possible) solution!

That was definitely the solution. It just took me a little bit finding the article, but that did resolve the issue.
