Bulk Host Cloning and Import wizard / 5.5.2

[tom987]

After upgrading to Nagios XI 5.5.2 (running on CentOS 7.4.1708) the bulk host cloning and import wizard stopped working. Hosts and services cloned get empty host/service information such as e.g. check intervals, notification settings, even empty check commands. Thus, after running the wizard we get an un-applyable, invalid configuration.

We have been able to track down the problem to the wizard calling nagiosql_read_host_config_from_file() and nagiosql_read_service_config_from_file() which both return a completely empty config. Unfortunately, due to their implementation being obfuscated(?) we have not been able to advance further.

HTTP-Errorlog for one run of the wizard with one host and a few services is included below.

Unfortunately, we are currently about to monitor quite a few very similar hosts and not being able to mass configure them will be a real pain.

Is there already a solution or a workaround?

Kind regards,
Tom

This is a know issue, but here's how to fix it.

Remove any un-applyable items.
Go to CCM -> Tools -> Config File Management
Delete Files
Write Files

Now the Bulk Import Wizard should work properly to add new items.

Yes, that did the trick. The wizard works again after having deleted/written config files. Headache is gone

Thanks a lot!
