Schedule Downtime - Wrong Date

[lmiltchev]

I just posted a "workaround". Try this:

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 71#p174671

Please let me know if this helped.

It helped but I got another problem now.

We have 3 instances and each instance is only accepting the following format in hostgroup based downtime.

XI1 - DD/MM/YYYY
XI2 - MM/DD/YYYY


All of them have the same date setting in the OS and for XI users.
Please advice how to troubleshoot this issue.

[lmiltchev]

Let's try troubleshooting one instance at a time. What is the Nagios XI version that you are currently using? What is the date format (both - system-wide, and user)?

Admin->System Settings->User Defaults->Date Format
Home->click on the username in the upper-right corner->Date Format

What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

locale

Show us the "Date/Time" section of your profile:
Admin->System Profile->Show Profile

Go to:
Home->Hostgroup Summary->View Hostgroup Commands

Click on:
Schedule downtime for all hosts in this hostgroup
or
Schedule downtime for all services in this hostgroup

and show us a screenshot of this page.

Next, type a comment, and click "Commit". Go to "Home->Scheduled Downtime->In Effect", and show us a screenshot of the page.

The date format is different

[Box293]

In /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg can you please let us know what is set for date_format=

[rajasegar]

In /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg can you please let us know what is set for date_format=

In the first is date_format=euro
In the other 2 it is date_format=us

Our date format is DD/MM/YYYY which is euro.

[Box293]

We had another customer report this yesterday (they also use date_format=euro) and we can reproduce the problem.

The devs are going to be looking at this shortly.

We want to use DD/MM/YYYY format and key in this format also.
Right now it is not the case.
Please advice a setting that will accomplish this once the devs sort it out.

[Box293]

Once the devs sort it out all of that should be resolved and you should be able to use what you want.
