Config files not being deleted

I think I've discovered a bug in 2012R1.6 ... I just removed a bunch of hosts and services from our Nagios install. After removing everything, I applied the configuration. Nagios reported a failure and I opened up the log to see what the problem was.
Turns out, the config files for the hosts I removed were still present. I had to manually delete the config files on the server and then apply the configuration again for the changes to take effect.
So have I run into a bug, or did I do something wrong?

I have seen the same behavior. I easily fixed like you did and never filed a bug report. Didn't have time to test and make sure it was a bug.

Thank you for giving us a heads up on this, is it a recurring problem for you? How many Hosts/Services were you deleting at once? Also, can you post your system profile from the Admin section of the XI interface?

I believe I deleted about a dozen hosts. This might be the first time I've deleted something from nagiosxi, not entirely sure.
Profile is as follows :

It may be hard to determine now, but if this happens again lets look at the permissions on the files that didn't delete.
Also, lets make sure that apache is still a member of the nagios group

I can't speak to the files that were deleted, but the rest of the files are owned by apache, group nagios. I will say that I have not hand-edited or hand-created any files here, so I would expect that those files were set the same way.
Also, lets make sure that apache is still a member of the nagios group
Code: Select all
apache:x:48:
nagios:x:1000:nagios,apache
nagcmd:x:1001:nagios,apache,snmptt

Those permissions are correct. If you see this behavior again let us know. If you can give us the steps to reproduce the issue, even better.
