Hi
It seems the system will not let me use the bulk cloning wizard on hosts
I have a master host as a template and I use it to clone when i have multiple hosts
it's failing now with the error

Error: Invalid max_check_attempts value for host 'lvsprdvelapp01.gspt.net'
Error: Could not register host (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/lvsprdvelapp01.gspt.net.cfg', starting on line 16)

The thing is my template has all the needed entries

define host {
host_name aaa_redhat7_ssh_syslog_master
use xiwizard_ncpa_host
address 10.49.184.40
hostgroups Basic Linux Checks Redhat 7_rsyslogd_needs_ssh,Uptime 1
max_check_attempts 5
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
active_checks_enabled 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
event_handler notify-host-by-email
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 60
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_options d,u,
notifications_enabled 1
icon_image ncpa.png
statusmap_image ncpa.png
_xiwizard ncpa
register 1
}


When I use the wizard, it only does a couple of lines

define host {
host_name prdvelapp01.xxxx.net
use generic-host
address 10.49.165.24
register 1
}


If i manually copy the template, and add the host by hand, everything works just fine

define host {
host_name prdvelapp01.xxxx.net
use xiwizard_ncpa_host
address 10.49.165.24
hostgroups Basic Linux Checks Redhat 7_rsyslogd_needs_ssh,Uptime 1
max_check_attempts 5
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
active_checks_enabled 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
event_handler notify-host-by-email
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 60
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_options d,u,
notifications_enabled 1
icon_image ncpa.png
statusmap_image ncpa.png
_xiwizard ncpa
register 1
}

The problem comes from that i need to add 30 hosts for my one ticket

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.

That fixed it, thank you, you can close this
