Unable to apply configuration-Host cannot be a child/parent

[briangmoore]

It appears that something is jacked! I try to apply my configuration, and it tells me:

An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to Nagios Core . Monitoring engine configuration files have been rolled back to their last known good checkpoint.

Error: Host 'Switch1_DV3' cannot be a child/parent of itself
Error: Could not add parent host 'Switch1_DV3' to host (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/Switch1_DV3.cfg', starting on line 16)


However, I can't find any such file Switch1_DV3.cfg, nor is there a host configured with that name. I have tried following instructions for Delete Files/Write Configs/Verify Files and that seems to go fine.

But I am still stuck at Apply Configuration. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Running Nagios XI 5.6.5 according to my GUI

Can you go to CCM -> Hosts
search for Switch1_DV3

Do you see it?

If not, lets run the following from the CLI and post output

Code: Select all

ls -al /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh

No, I do not see it there. I can find no reference of it anywhere in fact.

Sorry didn't get the results added. Here they are:

Importing into the CCM failed!

Ok, the problem is these old files stuck in the import directory

let's run the following

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/*

then this again

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh

[briangmoore]

That did the trick! Thanks a ton scottwilkerson!
