Contact Linking to Contact Group - Max Num of Links?

Nagios XI Version: 5.2.9

Is there a max number of contact groups which can be linked to a contact through the web UI? Do I need to add them in batches?
We have rough 1500 contact groups attempting to be linked. When I go back to verify the contact groups are still linked, it shows to be empty.

Below are the steps I take:

Steps I took:
1) Left click Configure
2) Left click Core Config Manager
3) Left click Contacts
4) Search for dba
5) Left click on Specific dba contact
6) Left click manage Contact groups
7) filter /db
8) select all contact groups
9) Left click "Add Selected"
10) Left click "Close"
11) Left click "Save"

How long is it taking to save? You could be hitting a timeout or passing too much data at once.

If you instead view the contact group and look at the members, do the appropriate contacts show up there?

Yes, when I checked for the contact looking inside a contact group, I did see it was linked. So it appears to have worked, but it is not displayable from the contact. Thanks for confirming that.

Please replicate the issue of it now showing up then immediately send us the output of this command:

Code: Select all

tail -n100 /var/log/httpd/error_log
You might try adjusting these in your /etc/php.ini:

Code: Select all

max_execution_time = 90
max_input_vars = 5000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000
Then restart the HTTPD service:

Code: Select all

service httpd restart
