Director - Icinga - Icingaweb not correctly synchronized

[somoit-net]

Icinga 2 network monitoring daemon (version: r2.15.0-1)
Director version 1.11.5
Icinga Web 2 Version 2.12.5

I have a simple installation of icinga+icingaweb+director, but im finding some sync (or i dont know how to name it) issues.

The only configurations that i have in /etc/icinga2/conf.d are these ones:

/etc/icinga2/conf.d# ls
api-users.conf  commands.conf

/etc/icinga2/conf.d# cat * | egrep "^object"
object ApiUser "root" {
object NotificationCommand "mail-host-notification" {
object NotificationCommand "mail-service-notification" 

The other conf files are "disabled":

/etc/icinga2/conf.d# ls /etc/icinga2/conf.d.disabled/
app.conf  apt.conf  downtimes.conf  groups.conf  hosts.conf  notifications.conf  services-localhost.conf  services.conf  templates.conf  timeperiods.conf  users.conf

So, for example lets focus on the hostgroups. As commented there are no hostgroups configured via conf files. There were but not now.

I have this configured via Icinga Director:

and this is what is shown:

In the databases:

• "Linux Servers" and "Windows servers" are groups that were configured via .conf file but not now. They are not shown in icingaweb, correct. Dont know if its ok that they still are in the icinga ido database.
• "test" is a group that was configured via director, deleted, recreated, and deleted. Not shown in icingaweb, correct. Dont know if its ok that it is in the icinga ido database.
• "rigil..." is a group that was configured via director, deleted, recreated. Not shown in icinga web. INCORRECT.

So icinga + icingaweb + director is not working properly in my environment. How can i fix this?

Thanks!!

First, I'd recommend to switch to Icinga DB, as you seem to be starting with Icinga or your environment isn't that large. It is by far your best option to avoid issues like this. Using the IDO is not recommended anymore.

At this point, and given im using director, can i migrate as per https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-db/latest/doc/06-Migration/ ?
Or should i start again from scratch?

If you don't have history you care about, start from scratch.
