One thing i realsied is that it reverts to old snapshot. I have deleted some hosts which caused the error, i did a service nagios restart, then when i apply configuration, the config files came back and same error pops out
edit :
For example, i get this error when i run the apply configuration ( it keeps running non stop ) then thru the xi's console, when i run a service check i would have these errors - which i already deleted the host and services' configuration files. A look at the snapshot also tells me the same error, which i think i had deleted.
So in other words nagios just revert me back to my error configuration.
Error: Could not find any host matching '10.10.7.88' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/10.10.7.88.cfg', starting on line 81)
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/10.10.7.88.cfg', starting on line 81)
Error processing object config files!
I think is somewhat similar to my past experience http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... f=6&t=8332
This time however i am able to from the web ui, check that the configurations have no errors and restart from the web ui.
I"m seeing a couple of interesting things here that maybe you can shed some light on. It looks like it may be trying to perpetually import several configuration files in /usr/local/nagios/etc/import. Can you take a look at these files and see if these are the culprits that you're looking for?
Also, it's showing these permission error messages:
