Getting error below :

Error: Could not find any host matching 'EQX1VWPD05 - WMS Database Server' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/EQX1VWPD05 - WMS Database Server.cfg', starting on line 127)

this file and host does not exist anymore. How can I clear it? it is preventing me from applying configuration.

Delete the service first in the CCM, then the host.

In order to delete a host, we have to remove all of the dependencies on it.

Hi

Not sure in what order I did the deletes.
I was able to delete services and host. I no longer see the services, hosts, or raw config file
referenced in the error.

But still no luck applying configuration.

Can you go back to the last known good configuration snapshot and re-attempt your deletes?

Went back to oldest config we have and still same error.

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... d-144.html

Try that procedure.

No errors, but still unable to "apply config"
I also confirmed config files were re-written.

Is there anywhere else this "bad config" could still be hiding?

Take a look in this directory for a configuration file
/usr/local/nagios/etc/import/

If you see a file in there, that could be what is creating the configuration error so delete the file.

Re-run the Delete, Write, Delete, Verify process from the KB article again and if the verify works, try and apply the configuration.

I do find the host under /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts

I keeps showing back up after a delete/write. I suspect this config is somehow in DB or cached somewhere.

Hi,

You can try repairing the database if you haven't already.
