I'm not sure what
Code: Select all
service nagios stop
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat
service nagios startBut if the developers think this is expected behaviour to change a configuration in CCM (notifications from skip to on) with XI gui, who am I to say it does not seem very logically.
When a Nagios XI admin chooses to make use of templates and decides to set the notifications to 'Skip' and inherit the property from the template, the Nagios XI gui will kind of mess things up over the years, as the changes done in Nagios XI gui are done by other user then the Nagios XI admin. He can not know all the changes that are done by all the users with enough permissions to reconfigure a service.
If in 2 years the Nagios Xi admin would have a problem where all services making use of a template start sending out too many alerts and he would like to stop these services from sending notifications, he would configure the used template notifications enabled option to off. All the services making use of the template that still have the notifications enabled on skip would stop sending alerts, but the ones that have been changed unwillingly by other Nagios user who would for example only add a contact or whatever small config change, would keep on sending alerts.
As this is not really a big issue, I'm not going to pursue this. I just don't really get the point.
