These hosts are being checked with a check_command (most probably check-host-alive in a default Nagios), and since the machines are offline, they show up in Nagios as down.<br> <br>Go to your $NAGIOSHOME/etc directory and do a "grep -R machinename *" where machinename is the host you want to remove. It'll show you all the places where you mention that host, which will let you know which file you still need to edit.
