Nagios Support Forum

Hi NagiosXI Team,

We are using Nagios XI 5.5.2

Below is the sequence of operations followed :

Deleted service group
Deleted 110 services - worked
Applied Changes - worked
Delete 1100 services - nothing happening in gui.

Is there a limit on bulk delete services ?
Why do we need to apply changes after every delete operation ?
Is there a way to efficiently bulk delete hosts & services ?

Kindly assist.

Regards,
Vish.

Is there a limit on bulk delete services ?

If you haven't modified the value of the max_input_vars directive in the /etc/php.ini file as suggested in this document, then yes, there is a limit of 1,000.

You don't need to apply configuration after each deletion. You can delete many different objects, then apply configuration only once (when you are done with deleting).

Thanks that worked.

I am glad I could help, Vish!
