Nagios Support Forum

Hi guys,

I don't know when this has changed but is used to work perfectly before.....

When I run Bulk Modifications, to change a single config option, I select 'check period' and purposefully don't put a new value because I do not want 'check period' at the service level to have a value because the template for the service check handles the check period. When I save and apply configuration the 'check period' doesn't get updated. This same is true for 'notification period'. I have thousands of checks with various groups of time periods that I need to maintain at the template level.

How can run bulk mods with value of blank for these periods? NOTE: when I change value to blank for interval settings it works just fine. Something about these periods... Sorry if this known issue.

Thx

I just tried to do the same, and was able to replicate this. The Notification period, and check period both were not going blank.

I have filed a bug report for this, ID 8285. Thanks for letting us know.

Thank you for verifying and submitting the bugger.
