invalid host description not updating

[pnewlon]

I used a host called '00219_RTR' as my initial router host, then copied its config for each router at my remote locations. The description of 00219_RTR is '00219 Router' Now when I get alerts from a critical/recovering device, the subject of the message says 'PROBLEM Host Alert - 00219 Router is DOWN'. I have tried every way I can think of to get the description to update correctly but the only way I can fix this is to delete the host and recreate it which is not only tedious but annoying

---> Config looks right



---> Alert has incorrect text in subject but message body is correct

What version of Nagios XI are you using and on what OS/architecture?

2011R1.3 on CentOS (VMWare virtual machine)

newlon,

There was a fix in 1.4 to fix a bug in host display name in notifications. Do you have a test environment you could use to install the latest Nagios XI instance?

Just getting back to this..... I don't have a test environment but really do need to set one up. As soon as I do, I will get back to you.

Let us know when you do. It would be nice to get some feedback on this issue.
