Delete all empty hostgroup or servicegroups Nagios Core

[jwassouf]

Hi All,

We are currently using Nagios® Core™ Version 4.4.5 and we are using NagiosQL 3.4.1 to help us manage and configure our config checks.

Our hostgroup or servicegroups is very messy at the moment and I am looking to clean things up, currently I am looking to delete all empty configs that have nothing attached to them at all.

Is there a way to list all empty hostgroup or servicegroups? maybe an API or query that I can use?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Go to /usr/local/nagios/etc and take a look at:
servicegroups.cfg
hostgroups.cfg

You could copy them to /tmp or download them so you could edit
them in order to keep track of the changes you make via the gui.

Thanks
