Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I have configured a host which is pointing to gateway and in the services of that particular host it automatically a service named CPU Usage and when I'm trying to delete the service error is poping up i have attached the screenshot.

Can you help me with this ?

Let's try going to:
Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Services
and see if the service is still listed, if so delete the service, then click "Apply Configuration"

I have checked in the above mentioned path but i didn't find

My guess is that service has either been assigned to multiple hosts, or it has been assigned as a service->hostgroup assignment. Search in the Core Config Manager for this service by the "service description." The "Config Name" filter doesn't necessarily mean that it's tied to any particular host, it functions more as a label.

I have tried to search with the service description but not able to find the host.
I have configured a dummy host with name as domain_host_name ,and the service is by default associated and i didn't find the host when tried to search with that particular name, but all other hosts are found associated with that service description.

Let's try this to find the service, ssh to your Nagios XI machine, then... This should display the file that contains this service.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagios/etc
grep -lir "CPU Usage" *

I have tried it but no use , didn't reflect those particular hosts.

Go to: Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Services, use the Config name filter to find the particular host you are having issues with, find the "CPU Usage" service and click on the "Information" Action button to the right of it. See why the deletion is not possible - it should be listed there.

i have overcome the problem thanks for all your posts
