Hello,
How to delete Nagios Backend API component completely? I removed it from the GUI but the URLs published by this component are still working.
I followed these installation instructions:
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... nd_API.pdf.
Thanks

Why are you attempting to do this? This will break a great many things within the XI interface.

Too much data may leak via the URLs like below, unless all command arguments are defined as macros. Even after I deleted the username with the login ID 'someuser', the URL still pulls data with the deleted username specification. This should not happen.
https://nagiosxi.somedomain.com/nagiosx ... someticket
I have noticed that the login information was cached in the browser, and now nothing gets generated by the above URL, only error 'Not Authenticated' appears.
I don't need to remove the Backend API anymore since the removal of the user authorized for Nagios backend data made the URL unusable.
Thanks for looking into this.

Glad you got it sorted out! I'll lock this up for now.
