Services link inconsistancy

[marquetteu]

I noticed today that when i click on the OK or Critical links in the hostgroup overview for localhost i get the following:

Code: Select all

https://vs-xi/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?&show=services&host=localhost&servicestatustypes=2

however, when i click on the link for a host that i created the link is different:

Code: Select all

https://vs-xi/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?&show=services&hostgroup=linux-servers&host=vs-test&servicestatustypes=2

The main difference is that the hosts i create have &hostgroup=linux-servers added to the URL. Is there any way to prevent that and get the behavior that i get with localhost for links?

thanks!

This depends on how the host was added to the hostsgroup. There are two ways:

1. CCM->Hosts->Edit->Manage Hostgroups->Add Selected
2. CCM->Hostgroups->Edit->Manage Hosts->->Add Selected

Compare the settings for both hosts and make sure they are the same.

so when i compared the 2 hosts it looks like both were added through CCM->Hostgroups->Edit->Manage Hosts->->Add Selected

to test i also tried adding it through CCM->Hosts->Edit->Manage Hostgroups->Add Selected however, the same behavior was exhibited. The only way i was able to have the link show up without the extra part in the URL was to clone localhost and then edit the clone

Is this on the latest XI version 2014R2.7?

[marquetteu]

Yes this is on the latest version

[lmiltchev]

Can you show us the configs of both hosts, and the hostgroup they are members of?

CCM->Hosts-><host 1>->View Text Config (the diskette icon)
CCM->Hosts-><host 2>->View Text Config (the diskette icon)
CCM->Host Groups-><hostgroup>->View Text Config (the diskette icon)

Here is the requested configs and also screenshots of what i am seeing

After digging a little bit more into this, we actually confirmed that this is a bug. Our developers are looking into this as we speak. The issue will be fixed in the next release of XI.
