Issue with renaming tool

Hello,
When I rename a host that has attached services, I get errors when applying configuration afterwards:
renamed weather_gent_poortakker to weather_gent , then applied =>
Error: Could not find any host matching 'weather_gent_poortakker' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/gent_poortakker_precip.cfg', starting on line 16)
Error: Failed to expand host list 'weather_gent_poortakker' for service 'gent_poortakker_precip' (/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/gent_poortakker_precip.cfg:16)
Got it very time.
This does not seem normal.
Grtz
Willem

Seems somewhat ghost-hosty. What XI version is this?

I was able to recreate it and filed an internal bug report (NEW TASK ID 3864).

Thanks Ludmill for confirming I'm not crazy.
Version is R1.4

Hello,
I'm experiencing similar issues when trying to rename a host without the renaming tool:
Code: Select all
Error: Could not find any host matching 'server1' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/server1.cfg', starting on line 55)
Error: Failed to expand host list 'server1' for service 'SVC_Solr_Updates' (/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/server1.cfg:55)
Error processing object config files!
Is there any solution for this issue, I have multiple hosts waiting to be renamed...
Grtz
Willem

It is a bug. I added a note to the bug report I filed for the "Renaming Tool". I will talk to our developers to see if they can give this a "higher" priority.

Actually, this behavior is caused by not writing ALL of the configs when applying configuration (in XI 2014).
This change made applying configuration a log faster, especially for large environments, but it seemed to create an issue in this case...
As a workaround you can try running the Write Config Tool. Hit the "Delete" button first, then "Write", "Verify", and apply configuration.
Edit: Apply Config will also fail after renaming a host via the Renaming Tool IF the host and its services have DIFFERENT config names.

Had the same problem and I can confirm the workaround.

The only way this issue should happen at the moment is if your services' config names are different than the hostname. Can others confirm?
