Nagios Renaming Tool Issue after usage

[rdhall01]

I had a set of hosts that needed renaming, so I used the nagios renaming tool and I thought it worked correctly except now I all the original servers and services and there copied servers and services! if I go thru ccm I see the renamed servers and services (what I expected) and do not see the renamed ones, but thru the gui and I see both! How can I remove the servers after the renaming process! Some are still part of a host group i need to remove , but cannot because the original servers are still there! I looked at /usr/local/nagios/etc/services and hosts and see the renamed version but not the old ones!

nagios version
Nagios XI 2012R2.5

First try stopping nagios, killing any orphaned nagios processes, and restart nagios. This is too avoid multiple parent processes from running:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall nagios
service nagios start

Next, lest look at your configs for older timestamped 'ghosts'.

Code: Select all

ls -lat /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts
ls -lat /usr/local/nagios/etc/services

i found a bunch of themn removed the services, but the hosts refuse to delete!
example

rm: cannot lstat `eamdbgl019-fe.cfg': No such file or directory

Is that exactly how the host is shown in the directory? This is a host correct? Can you try re-listing the directory?

I finally was able to remove old hosts / services everything is good now

Awesome, thanks for letting us know!
