Bulk Mods - Check Period not updating

[brdr]

Hi guys,

I don't know when this has changed but is used to work perfectly before.....

When I run Bulk Modifications, to change a single config option, I select 'check period' and purposefully don't put a new value because I do not want 'check period' at the service level to have a value because the template for the service check handles the check period. When I save and apply configuration the 'check period' doesn't get updated. This same is true for 'notification period'. I have thousands of checks with various groups of time periods that I need to maintain at the template level.

How can run bulk mods with value of blank for these periods? NOTE: when I change value to blank for interval settings it works just fine. Something about these periods... Sorry if this known issue.

Thx

I just tried to do the same, and was able to replicate this. The Notification period, and check period both were not going blank.

I have filed a bug report for this, ID 8285. Thanks for letting us know.

Are we OK to close this thread brdr, or were there additional questions on the topic?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've fixed it on our end, and it will be available at the next release. In the meantime: if you need this functionality right now, you can run the following command on the NagiosXI server:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/.*SELECT id from.*/if \(\$timeperiod != \"\"\) { &/;s/\$value = \$timeperiod_id;/& }/' /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/bulkmodifications/bulkmodifications.inc.php

Hope this helps.
