Bulk Mod question

Post by BanditBBS »

Is there a reason the Bulk Modification Tool doesn't allow me to change the is_volatile option? I have 300 services I need to change that on and don't see it as an option :(

To be honest, I'm unsure why the is_volatile option does not exist for bulk mod. I could ask a dev about it but in the meantime perhaps you could achieve your goal by creating a new service template(s) with the updated settings and attaching hosts to this template - far less overhead than having to edit 300 some services one by one.
**I'll file a feature request to add is_volatile to the bulk mod tool**

I'd still have to modify each service as template bulk mod replaces all, not adds. But please, file that request and then close this thread up
