Ghost config

[kg2857]

What's the error message you see when apply config is run now?

What does

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/EQX1VWPD05*

show?

Verify there are no files in /usr/local/nagios/etc/static. I may not have the pathe right but the static dir should be around there somewhere.

we restored the server from a backup
it worked ok until we tried to make config changes,
then the similar issue with same "ghost config" came back.

can we escalate this?

Sorry, to answer

a) yes we see this under services. should we remove it.
