Remove a server with a space " " in it.

For some reason someone at the company create a server called "something" and one called "something ". The Nagios server now creates two config files:
"something.cfg" and "something .cfg" and then goes on to complain about there being duplicate entries. I have tried to find the "something " server via the NagiosXI web gui, but it does not seem to show up. How can I delete this bogus "something .cfg" server?

Are you able to see the configuration from the command line? Check the following directory:
If you do find it there, you should be able to remove it, and then run the configuration verification command and restart nagios:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
service nagios restart

I have removed the actual config files off the server, but everytime I update things via the GUI on NagiosXI, it magically reapears. So that method is sort of a dead end.
It does use a database to store it info and it must be in there somewhere.

Yes XI does use a database backend to store and write config files from when applying changes. Have you tried the CCM or legacy CCM to find and remove the host?

Is this a host or service config?
If Host does it show up in CCM-> Hosts if you search for hostname?
If Service does it show up in CCM-> Hosts Services if you use the "Filter by Config Name: "?
If you go to
CCM -> Tools -> Write config files
Write
Verify
do you still get the error?
What version of XI are you running?
