Hello,

A week ago i removed a host with its 2 services from nagiosxi.
But now i noticed that nagios is still monitoring that host with its services.
From web, at configure i can't find anywhere the host in order to delete it.
At views i click on service and then i tried to delete it.
Unfortunately i receive the following message.

"Could not find a unique id for this service
Service cannot be deleted using this method"

How can i delete this host?

Yes, try following the steps outlined on our wiki page as suggested by s.dehaan.

Also, you can run the Write Config Tool and see if you have any config errors. If you do, fix them first, then Apply Configuration.

Read here to learn how to use the Write Config Tool.

i have had similar instances occur on my install.

Turns out I had multiple Nagios services running (Linux).

I do the following in order to resolve if I notice multiple Nagios instances running:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
service nagios start

Hope it helps & good luck!
