Just started getting these errors today

Backend login to the Core Config Manager failed.
An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to Nagios Core. Monitoring engine configuration files have been rolled back to their last known good checkpoint.

Error: Contact 'Ricky Gilleland' has no service notification commands defined!
Error: Contact 'Ricky Gilleland' has no host notification commands defined!

I have deleted the user, but the applying the config still fails.

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check

I just restored from my lasr good config and applied and it was successful

Sometimes deleting a contact can sometimes break relationships which can put a wrench into applying configs.

E.g. If your service alerts a contact group that's empty, it'll fail to apply configs unless you disable the alerts.

If you're satisfied your configuration now works, we can close this topic.
