I am replacing a very old Nagios install with Nagios 3.0.6, no importing, a fresh install, new hardware, a network audit and entering all hosts and services manually. It seems that no matter what I do I keep getting some hosts added to a host group, even though I clearly did not define them as part of the host group. My hostgroups.cfg, ############################################################################### define hostgroup { hostgroup_name AUTH_DNS alias Authoritative DNS members CDC-Ns1auth,CDC-NSMS,IDC-Ns2auth,SDC-Ns3auth } define hostgroup { hostgroup_name CACHE_DNS alias Caching DNS members CDC-Dnscache,CDC-Ns1,IDC-Ns2,SDC-Ns3 } My hosts/CDC-Ns1auth.cfg, ############################################################################### define host { host_name CDC-Ns1auth alias <a href="http://ns1auth.tls.net" target="_blank">ns1auth.tls.net</a> display_name TLS DNS server address 65.124.104.30 parents null hostgroups null check_command check-host-alive use generic-host initial_state o max_check_attempts 3 check_interval 15 retry_interval 1 check_period 24x7 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 contact_groups host-oncall notification_interval 15 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r register 1 } Everything looks fine, but when I start Nagios and look at View Config->Object Type->Host Groups, I see this! Group Name Description Host Members CACHE_DNS Caching DNS service CDC-Dnscache , CDC-Ns1 , CDC-Ns1auth , IDC-Ns2 , IDC-Ns2auth , SDC-Ns3 , SDC-Ns3auth The CACHE_DNS host group should only contain CDC-Ns1, IDC-Ns2, and SDC-Ns3. Why are the other hosts in there? I have tried renaming, I have tried starting fresh with new config files, new retention data, new object cache. Yet the hostgroup CACHE_DNS still contains hosts I did not define to be there. Any help is appreciated, clues, clue bats, links, (yes I looked at the change log and searched for an answer, no luck).
