Core Config Creating .cfg For Deactivated Services

I'm running into an issue that I can't quite seem to figure out. Running XI 2012R2.9, not looking to upgrade from there right now.
Basically, I have deactivated some hostgroups, hosts, and services that are no longer running, deleted a couple as well. Now, when I go to apply a configuration, I get the always nasty error noting that there was a problem with my configuration.
Upon digging into the config of what went wrong, I saw this was the error:
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/Drive Z: Under 5GB ETL.cfg', starting on line 14)
Error processing object config files!
The thing is, this particular service check has been deactivated. I went into the shell and verified that this file was created. The .cfg showed that there were two hostgroups tied to this service, but that's not how it appears in CCM. One of the hostgroups had been deleted, and other one was not tied to the service in CCM at all.
So, I guess two questions:
1) How do I tell CCM that these two hostgroups really aren't part of this service anymore so that it will stop trying to write them at config time?
2) If a service is deactivated, should that keep a .cfg file from being written for it?
Thanks!

Please run the following command as root from the Nagios server command line and post the results:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh | tail -30

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.

The .cfg file it creates in question is this:
Code: Select all
###############################################################################
#
# Service configuration file
#
# Created by: Nagios QL Version 3.0.3
# Date: 2015-06-18 12:31:19
# Version: Nagios 3.x config file
#
# --- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND ---
# Nagios QL will overwite all manual settings during the next update
#
###############################################################################
define service {
service_description Drive Z: Under 5GB ETL
use etlgroup_oncall,xiwizard_windowsserver_nsclient_service
hostgroup_name sqlprod_textalert,Z-Drive Textalert
check_command check_ntdisk_bysize!Z!5001!5000!!!!!
contact_groups OnCall_Ops
register 1
}
###############################################################################
#
# Service configuration file
#
# END OF FILE
#
###############################################################################
The Z-Drive Textalert hostgroup is the one that was deleted which I re-created, and the sqlprod_textalert one is the one that exists but wasn't tied into this service anymore. As a reminder, the active checkbox for this is unchecked as well.

If you deactivated these services (took care of all dependencies), but you are still having config errors, it is possible this is a "ghost" host/service issue. Try running the Write Config Tool:
CCM->Tools->Write Config Files->Delete->Write->Verify
If you don't see any config errors - apply configuration.
Note: I don't remember if 2012R2.9 had a "Delete" button under the "Write Config" tool. If you don't have one, run the following commands:
Code: Select all
mkdir /tmp/hosts /tmp/services
mv /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/* /tmp/hosts/
mv /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/* /tmp/services/
CCM->Tools->Write Config Files->Write->Verify->Apply Configuration
Let us know if this fixed your issue.

Does not appear that it did. I'm getting this message:
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/HP Smart Array SAS-SATA Event Notification Service.cfg', starting on line 14)
Looking in the CCM, it's pointing to a hostgroup called blade_servers. Now, blade_servers doesn't have any members in it anymore, so it could easily be deactivated. This error does at least make some sense, it's something pointing to an empty hostgroup, and Nagios doesn't ever seem to like that very much.
Let me follow this rabbit hole for a bit and see where it ends up.
