Problems with views and ampersand url encoding

[WillemDH]

Hello,

We are experiencing issues with Nagios XI views. When clicking on a configured view which has an ampersand in it, the ampersand is replaced by &

When roation is on in views, everything work more or less 'normal', but when the via is clicked, it results in all kinds of errors, as the ampersand is url encoded...

Nagios XI 5.4.10, CentOS 6 fully updated. My guess is that this was caused by one of the latest Nagios XI updates.

Please try to reproduce.

For example https://nagios/nagvis/frontend/nagvis-j ... SB-SES-SAN is replaced by https://nagios/nagvis/frontend/nagvis-j ... SB-SES-SAN

Grtz

Hello, @WillemDH. That's an interesting issue. I was unable to replicate it so far. Inside the Nagvis can you click on Need Help and then Nagvis Support Information. Sends us a screenshot of the whole page with your sys info. Also, how many views do you have? What browser are you using?

Npolovenko,

Please note that this has nothing to do with NagVis.. The same issue applies to Nagios XI url's. We are experiencing this issue on multiple browsers on multiple pc's. The issue must be in Nagios XI. It happens with whatever number of views we are using.

@WillemDH,
Can you let us know what PHP version you are running?

Code: Select all

php -v

Also please upload your php.ini file.
And we need to see what php plugins do you have installed:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep php

PS: Nagios XI 5.4.11 is being released next week

The weird thing is that it only happens when clicking the views. When rotation is automated it works.

Yes, the amp in the URL is a know issue that will be fixed in the next release of Nagios XI which will be out soon.
