+## Removing hosts
+
+If you decommission a Nagios-monitored host a couple of manual steps are required
+to clean up.
+
+    # On the Puppet Master
+    puppet node deactivate <my_host>
+    
+    # On the Nagios server
+    puppet agent -t
+    service nagios restart
+
+See [Issue #21](https://github.com/thias/puppet-nagios/issues/21) on why the service restart is required.
