Upgrading from 2012R7, and am getting the following error:
Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.

Config check shows the following:

This was working fine before the upgrade attempt, and now the monitoring service won't start.

Looks like the new additions to the verification process must have found an old ghost host/service.

Do you actually have a host, or service description on the first config line in:

/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/check_nrpe_version.cfg

This service may have been removed from the database previously, but got caught in it's flat config file and may simply need to be removed manually.
