it is not possible to delete services

Post by supportcl »

I have 2 hosts with some services that I need to delete, but when I try to do it, it tells me the following

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

But when I go to the "core config manager" and look for the services, they do not appear.

Hi

Please send me a System Profile so I can troubleshoot:

To send us your system profile.
1. Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
2. Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
3. Click the "Download Profile" button
4. Save the profile.zip file and share this in a private message and then reply to this post to bring it up in the queue.

Thanks

Hi

Which hosts need services deleted? And what services are failing to be deleted?

Server: EACVMPFSW1
Service: Serv. pronostico de cada region y ciudad - Nodo1

Servidor: EACVMPFSW2
Service: Serv. pronostico de cada region y ciudad - Nodo2

those are the services that cannot be removed and do not appear in the list

Thanks

Hi

I do not see those services associated with those hosts.

Can you you go to "Host status", search for each host, go to the Services tab and take a screenshot for me?

Thanks

Hi,

Interesting... I don't see it on my system.

Please do the following:
  • Choose Configure, Core Config Manager
    Under Tools in the left-hand menu select Config File Management
    Hit the "Delete Files" (red) button - it's OK to do this
    Hit the "Write Configs" (blue) button
    Optional but informative - hit the "Verify Files" (white button)
    In the left-hand menu under Quick Tools select Apply Configuration
    Click the "Apply Configuration" (blue) button
If that doesn't solve the issue please follow this document and do a database repair;

Let me know how things go please.

Thanks

It is fixed, it was not necessary to read the PDF, with the previous instructions it was solved.
Thanks!
