I'm getiing the following error when applying configuration.

Error: Could not find a service matching host name '' and description 'cordmon1' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicegroups.cfg', starting on line 46)
Error: Could not expand member services specified in servicegroup (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicegroups.cfg', starting on line 46)
Error processing object config files!

Thanks,

Do you have a service named cordmon1 defined defined within a servicegroup? If so, remove it via the CCM, this error may be because you removed the service from the CCM, but it somehow may not have caught that it has a dependency within a servicegroup.

What is CCM?

Also, I created a my own dashboard and can't move the dashlet around. I'm following the instructuions for using dashbords.

Thanks.

Don't worry about the error - I found another way so that i ncould create a service group.

However, I'm still not sure why I can't move the dashlet.....

Thanks.

CCM = Core Config Manager (accessible from the config page)

What version of XI are you running?
What view did you add the dashlet to?

You should be able to click the arrow icon to the right of the dashlet when hovering over it, this will pin and un-pin the dashlet. Are you logged in as the nagios admin? Would a upgrade be a possibility for you? We are currently on 2012 R1.8, in case it is an option the instructions can be found here:

Yes, I'm logged on as a nagios admin.
Eventually we will upgrade but not now.

Thanks.
