Hi,

I'm having trouble delete one host and it's related service.

Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/antek-server.cfg', starting on line 16)

Here are the contents of the file

In the Core Configuration Manager, you can either delete that service or attach it to a host then click Apply Config again.

tmcdonald,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm still getting the same error.

Go ahead and remove the /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/antek-server.cfg file from the command line, then re-run Apply Config. Chances are there will be other services like this, in which case they too will need to be removed.

I deleted the file from the command and verified that it was no longer listed the directory.
I clicked Apply at the CCM then file was recreated.
I still cannot successfully remove the service and the related host.

This config is being pulled from somewhere... Are you sure it is not still in the database (CCM)? Are you reverting to the last good configuration because of config errors? Try removing the service again from the CLI, but instead of applying configuration directly, run the Write Config Tool, and observe the output for errors. If there are no errors, apply configuration.

I had the problem where after making a lot of changes to fix problems, one big fatal error and it reverted back to the last know good config. I didn't notice that at first so I was confused until I picked up on that. Check the date on the file and if it's days ago then that's one problem. Until I fixed this, I would make a copy of the file I had fixed, just it case it was over written again.

In the CCM, if you find that service and click on the I button, it's supposed to tell you what the dependencies are so you can continue to track down where the actual problem is.

Anyway, that's some of the stuff I went through before I even got my first good verification to run.

Hope that's helpful.

This is what I get after deleting the .cfg file then click the Write button under Write Configs To File.

Did you apply config? If so, were there errors?
