handler behavior has changed since upgrading to XI 5.5.3

Do you know if this was fixed in 5.5.6 ?

I don't think so - there are no commits on GitHub that indicate this was patched.

Is this issue even being worked on? It's been a few months now.

I am looking into this now. It will be fixed in the next release, Nagios XI 5.5.7 with a patch, and in Nagios Core 4.4.3 once that is released. The next version of XI will be coming out shortly. If you'd like a patch for this, we could provide one for you to apply and re-build Nagios Core on the system.

I need some more clarification so I can decide how we want to proceed.

So, if we wait for the XI 5.5.7 patch, do we also need to wait for Core 4.4.3? Also, can you be more specific on the estimated time frame? Are we looking at a few more days or a few more weeks?

If you'd like a patch for this, we could provide one for you to apply and re-build Nagios Core on the system.

what would this entail?

A patched 4.4.2 would be in XI 5.5.7 - the issue is also fixed in Core 4.4.3 - was just noting that for the forum thread's sake.

You do not need to wait for Core 4.4.3, only for XI 5.5.7, which will be out early next week.

The patch would mean you re-build Core on the system. What you'd do:
1. Download the tarball for the Nagios XI version you are currently running and extract in /tmp
2. in /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/nagisocore/patches you'd drop in the patch that I provide
3. you would add a line for the patch in /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/nagisocore/apply-patches
4. manually run the ./upgrade script from inside that folder

ok thx. For now, I'll wait for the 5.5.7 patch.

I applied 5.5.7 and can confirm that this issue is fixed

Great! Is it safe to close this topic then, and mark it as resolved?
