Hello all, after upgrade from Nagios XI 2012 to Nagios XI 2014R1.0 I faced the error Error: The timeperiods '24x7' and '24x7' form or lead into a circular exclusion chain! when try to Apply Configuration. Have you already faced this issue before ?

Where does your configuration verification show this error occurring?:

Follow the error message, it complains about Time Periods.

Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg' on line 221

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

What do you have in '/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg' on line 221? You need to fix the error in the CCM, run the Write Config Tool to make sure you don't have any more errors, then apply configuration.
