NagisXI 2011R1.1
CentOS 5.4
VMware image running on ESX

This may be stupid question, but since I installed the new version of NagiosXI I keep on running into one issue after the other.

First I could not see any performance graphs ( that was resolved )
I am now getting a Failed status on the "Monitoring Engine" and the "Event Data"

I had created one host group "windows_server"
I created two services using the check_nrpe command to check disk space and physical memory
both of these services were tested on the command line and worked properly
I then associated the services with the hostgroup "windows_server"

When I created my first host and associated it with the "windows_server" I could not apply the configuration
The logs said there was an error with the win_system.cfg file ( That the name of the services I created )

I deleted the host and services I created and keep getting the same error
I whent into the server and the /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/win_system.cfg file was still there even after I deleted

So I am assuming the data still exists in the database and the file keeps getting recreated.
Is there a way to set the database back to default with out recreating the server from scratch ?

I apologize for the lengthy letter, but I have not run into this many issues with the old version and its getting frustrating.

Thanks for the help

This is the error I get when I apply the configuration

Processing object config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/www.google.com.cfg'...
Processing object config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/win_system.cfg'...
Error: Invalid max_check_attempts value for host 'tampafs'
Error: Could not register host (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/tampafs.cfg', starting on line 14)
Error processing object config files!


The thing to note is that both the win_system service and the tampafs host have both been deleted.

Check these solutions for hosts that can't be deleted correctly.

Being able to reset to the defaults is also a useful idea - I'm working on figuring out what's necessary for that right now.

All right, here it is. Upload the two attached files to your XI server (via scp), and then log in on a console, and run this from whatever directory you put them in:

Thank you, this helps out allot.

Please keep us in the loop either way. Thanks!
