Best place to post lots of little bugs / annoyances / etc ?

Post by spcinternational »

I have a list I started in 2.1 and need to re-verify some since 2.2 and 2.3 upgrades, but just to give an idea see below. I scrubbed a few off this with the new CCM Beta which is great.

1) Updating an XI contact does not update the core contact, for example email address. (2.1)
2) Auto Discover wizard adds brackets to service names making them unusable without modification, ie you have to go through and remove all the brackets if you select those services or config will fail (2.1 - 2.3) If it just used the service column it would work fine, rather the more descriptive one (service name). Example = TCP Port 135 (epmap)
3) Core Host groups are different to XI Host Groups if you create the Host Groups in XI (add hosts to them with a wizard for example), this is turning into a really big problem, host groups made in Core are fine, I now cannot work out how to modify in bulk a Host Group where I assigned the hosts in XI ? (2.1 - 2.3 confirmed yesterday)
4) It would be great if the auto discover wizard could also do some basic SNMP checks for CPU and Memory plus interfaces when doing auto discovery rather than just open TCP ports ?
5) There is no search by IP address in XI interface (quick find), only by name, this is fine if you know the name but that is not always the case, this works in Core Hosts OK, ie IP is is included in the search
6) When applying a configuration it would be good to have some feedback from Nagios direct about warnings and errors as it is now it is a very long winded process to find what the errors are if you have them.

Whats the best process to follow up for a list like this ? Do them one by one here, split bugs and suggestions ?

Best place is our tracker
http://tracker.nagios.com

That said I can respond to some of these.

2) Fixed version available here
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... rd/details

3) This is going to pretty much be eliminated in the new CCM

6) We have a special tool created for this, in Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Tools -> Write Config Files
This from the top down will go through each step and report output.

This one is "supposed" to be in there and working, but there may be a bug in the logic somewhere. We'll have to review the logic and see what's going on.
