Bulk Host Cloning doesn't work

[chrtap]

Hi,

With the new versions (5.5.1 and 5.5.2) when using "Configuration Wizards" "Bulk Host Cloning and Import" all directives of the new host are empty and it's not possible to apply configuration "Error: Could not register host (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/xxx.cfg', starting on line 16)"

Do I have to restore to version 5.4.13 ?

Regards.

Question if I need to restore to old version, not because I would be angry, but because I have to update NRPE windows client to NSCA++ with NRPE listening module (alot of errors with our NRPE windows clients), and if I have to rollback, I will not stress about this correction.

Hi,

I thing you didn't understand me (it's probably my fault;-)).

The problem is that with the news versions (5.5.1 and 5.5.2), "Configuration Wizards" "Bulk Host Cloning and Import" doesn't works find, every params are empty in the host created (check interval, retry interval, max check attempts, and so one) .

Restore would be as a last solution, to avoid if possible.

Can you show a screenshot of the page where you are selecting the services in the wizard?

He,
The page asked (if I understood correctly) is in attachment.

After consulting with the developers about the cause of this, we did come up with a cause and that is the file format changes slightly in the newer versions and need to be re-written to be parsed correctly.

Lets to the following. Remove the erroneous configs for the host/services, in the CCM.

Then

CCM -> Tools -> Config File Management
Delete Files
Write Configs
Verify Files
Restart Nagios Core

This will reset the configs

Now, the Bulk Host Import Wizard should work correctly.

Hi,

Thanks a lot, it works after the proposed manipulation.
