Issue with recurring downtime component

[WillemDH]

Hello,

We are seeing strange behaviour of the recurring downtime function and hostgroups.

It seems that once you configure a recurring downtime, then remove it and configure another, the old recurring is still applied. In case of a wrongly set recurring downtime for a hostgroup, are we supposed to manually delete each downtime in the scheduled downtime page? Or is this some sort of bug?

ok, I removed the downtime with the mass downtime remover.. But is it normal behaviour that when a recurring downtime is deleted, the downtime needs to be manually removed from the scheduled downtime page?

This is run on a cron job.

Code: Select all

grep recurring /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi
01  * * * * nagios /usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/recurringdowntime.pl > /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/recurringdowntime.log 2>&1

I guess, if the downtime has already been scheduled, you would need to remove it manually.

Imho it seems very logical that once a recurring downtime is removed, the related downtimes are also deleted?

Or am I seeing this the wrong way?

Is this worth making a feature or usability request?

We discussed it with a co-worker, and we tend to agree that you have a point. You can post a feature request on our public tracker or I can post one for you (internally) if you want me to.

Cool. Already made the feature request!

You can close this thread. I'll wait patiently untill your developers find some time.
