Configuration verification fails - contacts.cfg

Hi,

The configuration verification is failing since I deleted some services and hosts. I did not touch the contacts but when checking the configuration snapshot output I get this:

    Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
    directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
    version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
    may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
    the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
    'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
Line 46 of contacts.cfg is:
host_notifications_enabled 1

I have no idea why this is failing...
Checking the configuration files gives 0 errors.

Can you post the config for the contact in question? Go to the CCM --> contacts --> click on the "disk" icon to the right of the contact and post the text of the file here.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. The issue is still the same.

When clicking on the 'disk' icon to the right of the contact it gives me the following (I've replaced the username):
Warning: configuration file is out of date!

Relational information for [username] of table tbl_contact:
Relation to tbl_contactgroup, entry KTW_Admins - deletion possible
Relation to tbl_contacttemplate, entry xi_contact_generic - deletion possible

I read through some other posts for similar issues here, perhaps this logs will help?
I've ran:
./reconfigure_nagios.sh &> reconfig.txt
The output of reconfig.txt is:

Go to --> Configure --> Core Config Manager --> Tools --> Write Config Files. Click "write" and then "verify" Post the output of these two buttons.

Here is the output of the 'write' button:
Write host configurations ...
Configuration file successfully written!

Write service configurations ...
Configuration file successfully written!

Write hostgroups.cfg ...
Configuration file successfully written!
Write servicegroups.cfg ...
Configuration file successfully written!
Write hosttemplates.cfg ...
Configuration file successfully written!
Write servicetemplates.cfg ...
Configuration file successfully written!

There is no 'verify' but instead a 'check the configuration files' button. This one gives a huge output file because there are warning for duplicate services and notification time periods not defined. Please let me know if I should post the whole thing, I think the only interesting part is at the end?:

Did you import that contacts.cfg file? The definition it is listing should not be in there.

No, the contacts.cfg file has not been imported.
Is there no way to let it recreate or reset the contacts.cfg? Even if we would lose the data, that does not matter, we have to fix this issue because right now we cannot do any modifications.

Can we see this contact? Feel free to obfuscate the email address:

Yes, of course, here it is:

You could try removing the offending contact from the CCM, and then applying configuration.
