Case sensitivity while scheduling host downtime

[TSCAdmin]

Hello,

I bumped into a situation where one of the user was trying to schedule downtime for a host and all he was receiving was:

Apparently he was typing the host name in all upper case letter but it did work when we typed it in lower case. However, the case sensitivity does not apply when you are searching for a host or service using "Quick Find" or Host Management & Service Management in Admin panel.

After a little research it would seem:

1. When a hostname is lower case is entered, the following appears in nagios.log

Code: Select all

[1302084786] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;duk1srv0150;1302084749;1302091949;1;0;7200;Nagios Administrator;testing
[1302084787] HOST DOWNTIME ALERT: duk1srv0150;STARTED; Host has entered a period of scheduled downtime

2. When the hostname is entered in uppercase nothing appears in the nagios.log

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

Hello TSCAdmin,
I spoke with our developers and indeed this is case sensitive within setting/searching a scheduled downtime as it is Core dependent as opposed to the others you mentioned.
