Host group error for Recurring Downtime

I have a user that has multiple host groups that has created Recurring Downtime for maintenance. 1 hostgroup gets the folowing error when trying to create it (The hostgroup you specified is not valid for your user account.) I have gone thru all the hosts in the group and the correct contact group is added (also the correct contacts are in the contact group) just like the other 5 or 6 host groups that are working? I tried creating another group ading the hosts, but the same error exists any ideas on how to resolve it. I do not think its a name issue i will display working and non working
working
EAM-Cognos-RNET3 - 7 hosts
EAM-Cognos-RNET5 - 18 hosts
not working
EAM-Cognos-RNET6 - 15 hosts

Could you post the config for one of the working hosts and one of non-working hosts? (you can download the config by clicking the "disk" icon next to the host in the XI CCM)

Do you get any errors when running
Code: Select all
tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/recurringdowntime.log
And then submitting the hostgroup command?

It would likely help to see a full configuration snapshot, could you open a ticket sending that to
[email protected] including a link to this thread.
Thanks
