Can't set Parent in Host Template?

I remember being able to set the Parent of a host via host templates, thought I was crazy so I looked it up in the documentation and its listed as being possible there as well http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... gement.pdf.

Has something changed? I looked at the page source and it is mentioned when I do a search for "parent".

Tried it, but I also don't see that option.

This seem to be the case. I have opened an internal bug report for this.

It looks like this is a bug, as Andy has mentioned. If you'd like to fix it now you can edit the file yourself or wait until the next version of Nagios XI to get this.

To edit it yourself:
1. Open /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/component/ccm/page_templates/common_settings.php
2. Find the line that looks like this (should be line 41-44):

Code: Select all

<p><a class="wideLinkBox" href="javascript:overlay('parentBox')" title="Manage Parents"><?php echo gettext("Manage Parents"); ?></a></p>
            <?php
                }
            }

3. Replace line 41-44 with the attached code snippet:

Code: Select all

<?php } ?>
            <p><a class="wideLinkBox" href="javascript:overlay('parentBox')" title="Manage Parents"><?php echo gettext("Manage Parents"); ?></a></p>
            <?php
            }

Thanks guys! The code posted by jomann fixed the issue for me. Only thing is that the path is actually /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/ccm/page_templates/common_settings.php

As always thanks for the help and I had a blast meeting you guys at the conference.

We're glad that worked for you. The patch will be applied to the next release of Nagios XI. Thanks.
