Issue with recurring downtime component

Hello,
We are seeing strange behaviour of the recurring downtime function and hostgroups.
It seems that once you configure a recurring downtime, then remove it and configure another, the old recurring is still applied. In case of a wrongly set recurring downtime for a hostgroup, are we supposed to manually delete each downtime in the scheduled downtime page? Or is this some sort of bug?

ok, I removed the downtime with the mass downtime remover.. But is it normal behaviour that when a recurring downtime is deleted, the downtime needs to be manually removed from the scheduled downtime page?

This is run on a cron job.
Code: Select all
grep recurring /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi
01 * * * * nagios /usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/recurringdowntime.pl > /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/recurringdowntime.log 2>&1
I guess, if the downtime has already been scheduled, you would need to remove it manually.

Imho it seems very logical that once a recurring downtime is removed, the related downtimes are also deleted?
Or am I seeing this the wrong way?
Is this worth making a feature or usability request?

We discussed it with a co-worker, and we tend to agree that you have a point.
You can post a feature request on our
public tracker or I can post one for you (internally) if you want me to.
