4 service status for each monitored item

I moved my Nagios XI VM to another ESX host and when I powered on the VM Nagios is now showing 4 service status for each monitored item. For instance, I'm monitoring /opt on a system and it shows me 4 /opt's for each system. Can you tell me how this might have happened? Or more importantly resolve this back to 1 "service" for each device?

What's the output of
ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg?
If you have more than one parent (first # column should match second # column for all but the first), then you should:
Code: Select all
service nagios stop
killall nagios
service nagios start
If that doesn't do it, then it's possible there's a db issue. If you don't have killall install on your server, you can either install it or kill the processes manually.

Here is the output
[root@Nagios hosts]# ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg
nagios 1681 1 0 09:53 ? 00:00:02 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios 2040 1681 0 09:53 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
root 110425 83629 0 15:40 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto nagios.cfg
I follow the steps you provided and that resolved my issue. Thank you for your help!
