Hostgroups disappear when changing ip-address

Hi everyone
another problem with Nagios XI 2014R2.4 from us:
When a user changes the ip-address of a host via Configure -> "Re-configure this host" the host loses its relationships to all of its contactgroups.
Can you reproduce this?
Best wishes

Are you changing the hostname or just the address?
EDIT: If you are changing the hostname, please use the renaming tool to do so.

Hi,
just the ip-address.

Does it still exhibit this behavior when you make the edit straight from the CCM?

No, via CCM it works fine. The relationships to the notificationgroups are still there after applying configuration.

Can you show us the config before and after you change the IP address via "Configure->Re-configure this host"? It is a very strange issue. I don't remember anyone else reporting this before. Is upgrading your Nagios XI to the latest (2.6) an option for you?

I found out this only applies when a non admin user changes the address.
We'll upgrade to newest version as soon as possible.

I tested this scenario on the latest release of XI and I was not able to recreate the issue.
We'll upgrade to newest version as soon as possible.
Let us know if the issue persists after the upgrade.
