V5.3.0 - Scheduled Downtime - records dont appear?

Post by srhart »

Hi

I'm trying to enter scheduled downtime for our customers network - in 2.5.3 it seems that I can schedule downtime for several hosts and their services all in one go - great! - except when I do that and enter it, no downtime records appear. The system says they have been created but they never appear - is this a bug?

Thanks

Can you please clarify the version? Do you mean 5.2.3? If so, the latest version is 5.3.0 - you might want to try upgrading and see if the issue persists:

Apologies, it IS 5.3.0 that I'm having the problem with - don't know why that other version popped out of my head.

You can schedule downtime for several hosts in one go AND/OR schedule downtime for several services on one host in one go, but not both as far as I know... Can you describe in details all of the steps you took to schedule downtime for these hosts/services? Show some screenshots.

What is the date format that you are using, i.e. DD/MM/YYYY? Are you scheduling downtime logged in as "nagiosadmin" or another user? Is it an admin or a "regular", AD/LDAP or "local" user?

What is the output of the following commands?

Code: Select all

locale
uname -a
cat /etc/*release
tail -100 /var/log/httpd/error_log

I'm seeing the same thing. This is how the downtime was scheduled:

And it doesn't show up when I view the scheduled downtime page. This was scheduled by a non admin user with the following permissions:

What do you see when you run the following command?

Code: Select all

grep -i 'service has entered\|host has entered' /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
Can you make sure that your filter is set to "none" (all options cleared)? See below:

If host is scheduled in downtime along with its services, it will not show up when you use the "Host" only filter. Only "individual" hosts, scheduled in downtime will show up.

None of those hosts are showing in that log, and the downtime wasn't actually scheduled apparently as alerts went out for all of the hosts that were in maintenance.

Doesn't look like it's erroring out - it sends the downtime scheduling through core. What times were you scheduling them for?
