Nagios Support Forum

I have 4 service checks that were renamed! (on purpose) Then applied the configuration, now the old and new shows up but cannot delete the old service name, and its not working. I do not see the old service name in the services cfg file the original is Check_APC and renamed to Check_PDU how can i get rid of the original service I tried CCM but I do not see it there? does it have to be removed from the database and if so how?

Can you describe the steps you took to rename these services? Did you do it via:

1. CCM->Services->Modify
If yes, did you change the "Description" or you changed the "Config Name" as well?

2. CCM->Tools->Renaming Tool

3. Manually, from the CLI

I was trying to hurry up and went into the service thru ccm and just renamed the service and hit apply config

Tr the following:
Go to --> CCM --> Wrote Config Files. Click "write" and then "verify".
Now go to the cli and get a date sorted listing of the services directory: Most files should all be nearly the same date and time. You should also see some files that are noticeably older than the rest. Remove those files.

I dont see anything to remove all files have the same time stamp the 4 services only have the correct check and the ping checkin the cfg file. I tried to delete all services, but will not because of the orphaned service i cannot get to remove it.

pwd
/usr/local/nagios/etc/services
ls -lat | grep f7

You may have multiple nagios parent processes running. Try:

even after running theses commands, no additional nagios pids were found
service nagios stop
ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg
killall nagios
ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg
service nagios start

same result as before

rdhall01,

Can you rollback to a previous version of the config and then delete and re-add with the same name.

I cant roll back other changes were made besides these 4 hosts / services that are in question. Any other ways to remove this?

Can you open a ticket by emailing [email protected] and attach your latest configuration snapshot and reference this forum thread

Thanks
