Hello,

Maybe as workaround you could, untill the issue gets solved, configure a ping service for all hosts?

Grtz

Hosts without services will not be displayed in any of the services pages or dashboards, though they should show up in the host pages.
EDIT: Are the contacts that are having an issue set up as contacts for all the hosts in the hostgroup in question?

I have to agree with others that this sucks. This is one of the few things about XI that I really don't understand or like.

For me, for devices without services, I added a dummy service that never checks anything to that hostgroup. That way those hosts do show up. Something similar to the suggestion of adding a ping service. I prefer my method as it doesn't actually add another process and I prefer my ping checks to be on the host itself.

I think it pertains to how the objects are handled. This is an issue with the cgis as well. May be worth filing a bug report, but I am unsure if it is WAI and I wont be able to find out for a week or two as the core devs are all out of the office.

I've already post a bug report on 14-april-2013

Hope this will be solved soon.

This very well could be related to core. Post a bug report on the core tracker at: tracker.nagios.org
