HI,

If getting rid of the duplicate host (in your other forum post) solves this
one please let me know and I will lock this one. Then we can get back to
the check_nrpe issue.

Thanks

Hi,

Nice! So do you still have the phantom disk usage service check
hanging around ?

If so please send me a new System Profile.

Thank you!

under CCM localhost and NagiosXI_local_Server are both there and they are identical
neither of them has the "ghost disk usage" check.

Hi

My understanding is that localhost and NagiosXI_local_Server
refer to the same machine. Can you delete localhost via CCM
and "Apply Configuration" please?

Let me know the results.

Thanks!

for some reason this alert was coming from it being in linux_server grouup with a disk check at creation time
we removed it and now it's gone
