Sorry about that typo. Is there any chance these services were assigned from a template?

The other thing you could try would be to make a backup copy of the nagios/etc/services directory, delete them, and then use the Write Config Tool to rewrite the config files. This will ensure that there aren't any "ghost" configs on your nagios/etc/services directory.

I just added another host and a slew of services I did not ask to be monitored were enabled.

Should I cut my losses now and start over and go back to 1.6?

TIA!

Jeff

ok I deleted the hosts under /etc/services and re-wrote all the config files.
No change.. still services that were never enabled under the hosts.

I never created any templates.

something is SNAfu's for sure on this...

Any other advice?

Thanks.
Jeff

Can you PM me a configuration snapshot and let me know what the phantom services are so I know what isn't supposed to be there? Access the Configure->Core Config Manager->Configuration Snapshots and download the latest config tarball.

OK, I think I see what happened. It looks like you've applied services to hostgroups, so what that will do is that any hosts that are added to this group will automatically get those services assigned to them. Access the Core Config Manager->Services, then select the IRNSWB01 config and then remove the hostgroup assignments. This is a handy feature if you want to use 1 service for a large group of hosts, but it can also bite you if it wasn't what you intended.
