Non existent host fails to deploy

Icinga Director
1

Hi,

I’ve been trying to configure a host to be used as a satellite. I originally created a zone for it with a dependency on the master zone and placed the host entry within that zone.

I did not see the host appear in the list of managed hosts and noticed the below error. I treid a number of fixes via the gui, eventuallly deleting the host object.

However I cannot deploy the configuration because the below error persists, even though I have no (0) host objects configured. How can I stop Directory trying to deploy an object that doesn’t show up?

Navigate into the Icinga Infrastructure section, pick Endpoints and remove siteanode.mydomain.local. Then deploy again.

Note: Zone and Endpoint objects shouldn’t be created inside the Director, just imported from the local initial setup configuration. Use this feature with care.

Cheers,

OK, I was trying to get the initial zones correct before importing into Director in another thread in which we talked. I eventually reverted back to a vanilla config and tried creating the zones & endpoints in Directory

So you’re saying that Zones & Endpoints should NEVER be created in Director, even after the initial vanilla import completes?
