Removed host from NAGIOS

[Nabi]

Hello,

I would like to ask please what is the difference between removing the host from CCM NAGIOS GUI via:

https://nagios_server/nagiosxi/includes/components/ccm/index.php?cmd=view&type=host


and via the command line:

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nagiosql_delete_host.php --host=$host
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts#./reconfigure_nagios.sh


Because If I do it via the CCM GUI then i can see that the host got deleted and the cfg file as well.

While when i do it via the command line i can still see that device exist on the CCM, and the cfg still there as well:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/host.cfg


Please note that the nagiosql_delete_host.php and reconfigure_nagios.sh does not show any error and all seems fine.

Thanks,

Nabi

There should be no difference. That said, I tested on a 5.6.3 machine where the command is ccm_delete_object.php. Which version are you using? Can you perform an upgrade?

I am using NAGIOS XI, this should be the version Nagios XI 2014R2.7

Can we somehow remove bulk of devices at once from the CCM NAGIOS GUI ?

Thanks,

Nabi

Make sure you're deleting the services associated with the host before deleting the host. You cannot delete a host otherwise.

In newer versions of XI you can delete a host and have it delete the services automatically, but this isn't available in 2014 versions so you'll need to delete services from the CCM and then delete the hosts.

If i click on the host then on its services then i dont see any service there, so just the host is there, that is why i was able to remove the host easily from the CCM GUI.

I am not sure why i did not have services, but i think the "/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nagiosql_delete_host.php --host=$host" deleted the associated service for the host and kept the host itself for some reason.

However, what i did as workaround I deleted the hosts directly from nagiosql DB, and by this way all was fine ( till now at least )

So as a for loop i did:

DELETE FROM tbl_host WHERE host_name='$device'" nagiosql


Thanks,

nagiosql_delete_host.php is depricated in current version of XI, the new file to use for these types of operations (if not using the API) is

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/ccm_delete_object.php -t host -n "$host"

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/ccm_delete_object.php -h

Deletes an object (or list of objects) from the CCM database.

Usage: ./ccm_delete_host.php [option] ..

Example: Remove all services from service with config name localhost
         ./ccm_delete_host.php -t service -c localhost

Usage Options:
    -t|--type <type>             Object type (host, service, contact, timeperiod)
    -i|--id <object id>          (OPTIONAL) Object ID
\Host Type Options:
    -n|--name <host name>        (OPTIONAL) Host name (host type only)

Service Type Options:
    -c|--config <config name>    (OPTIONAL) Config name to remove all services from (service type only)

Help and Logging:
    -h|--help                    Print out help output
