Nagios XI 5.5.2 - unable to bulk delete services ..

[vishfx]

Hi NagiosXI Team,

We are using Nagios XI 5.5.2

Below is the sequence of operations followed :

Deleted service group
Deleted 110 services - worked
Applied Changes - worked
Delete 1100 services - nothing happening in gui.

Is there a limit on bulk delete services ?
Why do we need to apply changes after every delete operation ?
Is there a way to efficiently bulk delete hosts & services ?

Kindly assist.

Regards,
Vish.

If you haven't modified the value of the max_input_vars directive in the /etc/php.ini file as suggested in this document, then yes, there is a limit of 1,000.

You don't need to apply configuration after each deletion. You can delete many different objects, then apply configuration only once (when you are done with deleting).
