Alert on service I can't find in config

[ChathamDaleJ]

I have a service on a host that i cannot find under Config -> Core Configuration Manager -> services

I have Applied Configuration a dozen times, but no luck.

TIA,

Dale

Was this a service that had been previously in your configurations? Can you see the service's configuration file when you navigate to:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/<hostname>.cfg

You may be experiencing a phenomena that we call "Ghost Hosts."

The server is the nagios server, so it has two names (gbnagios01 and localhost). the service in question lwsmd, is in neither.

It is a ghost service.

Run the following command and show the output:

Code: Select all

grep -R -i "lwsmd" /usr/local/nagios/etc/

I don't know what I did, but that instance cleared. Now, I deleted the host denver and all associated services. I applied the configuration, but all services show up one by one.

grep -Ri denver /usr/local/nagios/etc shows it in a single hostgroup, but no services. Do I need to delete it from the hostgroup?

[ChathamDaleJ]

Disregard my last, denver is not in any hostgroup. It does not exist.

Also, why do I not have the authority to browse this forum?

I will disregard your previous messages except the most recent one.

You should be fine to view the General Support as you are, I don't see any issues regarding it. What problem are you seeing? Are you trying to view the customer forums?

Solved!

zombie process kept parent process alive. Parent process apparently had old config.

So, ps -eaf | grep defunct. All zombies had a common parent. killall nagios didn't work, though I suppose killall -9 would. kill -9 PPID took care of it, though.

Glad to see this fixed. Am I good to close this thread out then?
