Some host related files (caches, precompiled checks, counters, ...) were not deleted when removing a host via WATO. This has now been fixed. These files are removed once a host is deleted:

  • precompiled host checks (nagios)
  • discovered services
  • counters
  • agent / SNMP caches
  • persisted sections
  • piggyback data
  • HW/SW inventory caches
  • baked agents
  • logwatch files

The HW/SW inventory archive and performance data (RRDs) are not cleaned up by this mechanism. To clean these files up, use the disk space cleanup mechanism (see global settings).
