NagiosXI host remove fail

Hello everyone,
I recently configured NagiosXI in my company to monitor the whole network, I added a VOiP switch in the host database by using the FQDN of the host but I realized later that the switch has no FQDN configured on the network ...
So I needed to use IP Address to add it in NagiosXI because the server cannot resolve the FQDN.
I decided to delete it from NagiosXI DB but it's still in the Views tab and it still sends notifications and the status down. I don't find how to delete the host from the views completely.
If needed I can send screenshots.
Regards,
53che

What exactly do you mean by this? What steps did you take to remove it?

Did you apply configuration after deleting the host/services? Did it succeed?

First I deleted services regarding these two hosts and then I deleted the hosts in the core configuration manager ! I applied configuration it worked. But these two hosts are still present in the hosts view.

Do their configs still exist?
Code: Select all
ls /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/ | grep "<hostname>"
(Change <hostname> to one of the hosts actual names)

Yes the .cfg file is still present !
Do I have to delete it to see it completely disappeared from Nagios XI views !?
Thank your for your Help Abrist and Scott Wilkerson from NagiosXI support team !

If the host has been deleted from the ccm, you may need to remove the cfg file as it is now orphaned/a ghost. If it returns to disk after removal, the apply config is most likely failing and restoring a previous snapshot that includes the file.

Indeed the cfg file acted as a ghost. After removal and configuration applied the host doesn't appear anymore !
Thank You Abrist.
