Clone did not clone all services

[dianeghir]

Hi

I tried to clone an existing Host, selected all services but 2 services were not cloned. Before I ran the cloning wizzard, I noticed that most of the services were in Unconfigured Objects and then after I ran the clone I found that 2 additional services were in Unconfigured Objects.

Why didn't the cloning wizzard clone ALL services?

thanks

Were some of those services passive ones? If so, this would make sense. I don't understand what you are talking about when mentioning Unconfigured Objects, you should really be cloning active checks, as passive checks are sent to nagios stamped with the host they came from, and the service information that would reside in that passive data, so cloning them to a completely different host won't likely work the way you want it to.

[dianeghir]

42 of 44 checks are PASSIVE. All checks were cloned except for 2 PASSIVE checks, so 40 were cloned correctly. This has happened with (I believe) every host we have added this way.

I want to be able to use the cloning wizard to clone services which have different settings for things like Notification Period, Notification Delay, Retry Interval and Max Check Attempts.

Just wondering why it would work for MOST, but not ALL.

thanks

Any naming differences/anomalies with the 2 that did not clone? Are those cloned services not individually configured, but instead inherited checks?

[dianeghir]

No naming diffs and not inherited checks. The only thing I've noticed is that the 2 checks that were not cloned have very similar names to ones that were cloned correctly.

cloned checks uncloned checks
/watchdog /watchdogNotify
TCP HTTP TCP HTTPS

These are the main 2 that don't get cloned but sometimes there is another one also.

Any ideas?

thanks

Do these services have a different config name that the others?

[dianeghir]

Not sure what you mean by 'different config' name. As far as I know they are all the same.

What he means, is that generally services that are applied to a host will keep the hostname for the config name in /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/. He wanted to know if the services that do not copy are separate or named differently from the config that contain the services that do copy.

Here is the services file for the host I am cloning

Are you sure that you selected ALL of the "template" services step 3 of the Bulk Host Cloning and Import Monitoring Wizard?

I was not able to recreate the issue. I set up a dummy host to be used as a "template" host, added the same services you have, and cloned it. All of the "new" hosts have the same services as the original host.
