Configuration modified, not shown in GUI, exce pt for 'View Config'???

[Tedman Eng]

I believe the problem you are expeiencing is due to retention.

A quick way is to delete or rename the entire status file (status.sav)
A less quick way is delete all lines in the status file (status.sav)that
correspond to the host.  There will be HOST: and SERVICE: entries, make sure
to yank all of them.

NOTE: If the host changes state while you're doing either of these methods,
you'll get messed up reports for that host.
