Object Paramaters, no change made after apply config
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2013 3:35 pm
I'm running Nagios XI 2012R2.2
Setting up a service template and ran into a couple of issues. I first created the template by making a copy of the nagios-generic-service, which has parallelize_check = 1 and obess_over_service = 1. I changed the setting in NagiosXI web console and selected Check Settings > Obsess over host = off. After I apply configuration and had no errors. The setting in the config file doesn't change, it still set to 1. If I manually change the setting in the config file, as expected, it overrights my setting back to 1 after the next apply configuration. The web console doesn't show the correct setting for obess_over_service, as well. it leaves all 4 bullits stay clear (on, off, skip, null), even though the "on" bullit should be blue based on the config file.
For the parallelize_check, I am not able to find the setting to make achange using the NagiosXI web console.
My next try was to create a new service template (Add New). A brand new template doesn't have either paramater and since I can't find the parallelize option in the GUI, I can't add it and even though I have the ability to modify obess_over_service. I make a change in the GUI, but the parameter never shows up under the configuration settings. Same issues as above.
For host templates, obess_over_host, it worked as expected. I am able to make changes through the GUI.
I didn't see the parallelize_check parameter for hosts objects, in the Object Definitions document. But then again the "use" paramater isn't listed under host defnitions and the parllelize_check isn't listed under the service definitions, as well. So I wasn't certain if is available for hosts and if so, how to manage that paramater through the web console.

Copy of service template created from nagios-agent-service, unable to make changes to obsess and parallelize
New service template, unable to add obsess and parallelize through the web console.
Thank you,
