localhost Config Verification

[KnightWolfJK]

I've googled and looked through the FAQ. I think I screwed up with something regarding the localhost configuration, and now I'm having a lot of intermittent issues.

For starters, here's the output of my config verification, trimmed to only show the errors:

So there are a lot of host CFG files, yet I deleted those hosts long ago via CCM... See attachments, which show hosts being monitored without hosts being configured. Any ideas? I tried this but I'm not manually editing things.

Did you remove the "localhost" checks? We usually suggest that you do not remove these checks as they are checking the nagios server itself and will warn you when your disk is filling up etc. It appears as if you need to remove references to "localhost" from one of your hostgroups. If you do not have many hostgroups, just look through them and remove "localhost" from any that you find. Or, just check the config file: /usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg - line #14 to see which hostgroup "localhost" is still associated with.

Thanks, tried that as well- the hosts still appear even though they've been deleted, and the discovery engine errors out when I edit the file. Instead, I swapped to another enterprise monitoring system yesterday.
