OS: CentOS 7, centreon installed through repos.

3. Action is reported as OK:
   

Describe the results you received:
If reload has been choose, configuration isn't changed.
If restart has been choose, poller is now empty:

Error is present into log _/var/log/centreon-engine/centengine.log_:

[1489488148] [593] Error: Configuration parsing failed in file '/etc/centreon-engine/services.cfg' on line 43: Service 'edfqsfqsdgd' has no check command (property 'check_command')

Describe the results you expected:
Web UI shown an error (maybe the log one?)

Additional information you think important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
If it possible reload old configuration when failed, or use _--verify-config_ before restart.

Thanks.

I suppose you didn't check box "Run monitoring engine debug (-v)"

[nailyk-fr]

You are right!
With '-v', if there is an error a red warning and problem get displayed. With the same error without -v everything seems to go smoothly and poller is stopped.
IMHO it is a bug as without '-v' poller shouldn't be stopped and/or a warning should be displayed.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
It's not a software bug. Documentation recommend to generate and test configuration before to move and restart poller.
