Nagios XI 2012R2.9
RHEL 6.5 x64
Manual Install

I updated some hosts with objectnotes notes and it was fine.
When I renamed one of the hosts, the notes disappeared.

The problem seems to be the hostname is hardcoded as text in the name column in table xi_options.
I suppose this will be the same problem for services name changes also.
The old entries is left orphaned in the table.

Example: Hostname
objectnotes_SST_SGR_ATM_FSDM_WN__

Shouldn't this be normalised and referred to via host /service reference codes?
All the other changes in CCM seems to be fine even if the name is changed.

The fix is to manually update the PostgreSQL DB
update xi_options set name = 'objectnotes_newname__' where name ='objectnotes_oldname__';

Please advice on this. Thanks

You are correct. This is a bug. I was able to recreate it and I filed an internal bug report on the issue (TASK ID 2940). This should be fixed in one of the next releases of XI.

Thanks for the assistance.

Since there is a bug report for this, I'd like to close the thread unless there is more to add. Is that alright?
