I'm running 2009R1.1H
I have used the Windows Server wizard to setup monitoring for multiple hosts and their services. I have since decided to notify a contact group instead of an individual. I made the changes in the Core Config to each service so that it would notify the group instead of an individual. However when I go back to the Host or Service Detail and click Reconfigure this Host or Service, it still shows the individuals check box checked and not the group. Am I doing the change correctly?
Also, is there a way to run the same wizard for the same host so that I can make the change to the host and services all in one shot? It seems that if I type the IP and hostname exactly the same it overwrites the previous config, but I don't want to screw up the functional hosts if I shouldn't be doing it that way.
Thanks.

Re: Changes to Host or Service not displaying in Wizard
I'll have to take a look at the check box you are talking about. Keep in mind sending the correct HTML code to make a check box or radio option look as it should is vary different from being able to save away SQL or act on that data correctly. For example the HTML code could have a bug in it, in witch case the setting would still take effect even if it did't show in the webpage.
What check box are you talking about?
As for the wizards, yes that's how we intend them to work. Currently they don't load any options from previous runs, but they should always reconfigure existing host/services. They don't remove or delete currently either.

Re: Changes to Host or Service not displaying in Wizard
The future plan for wizards is to allow them to be used to easily re-configured already existing hosts/services. We haven't implemented code for this yet, as it can be quite complex and has to be done for each individual wizard (what they do and their internal logic is really only known to them).
However, this is on our wishlist. I think we can get some preliminary code in over the next few months as a proof of concept. Right now we're working on other features that people want, so we've got a bit of a backlog on our hands. Keeps us busy and things fun and new though.

Re: Changes to Host or Service not displaying in Wizard
One question - when you're in the Core Config manager, do you see the service or host as being out of sync when viewing the list of services/hosts? This can be indicative of not being able to write the database configuration to files in /usr/local/nagios/etc due to permissions problems.

Re: Changes to Host or Service not displaying in Wizard
Thanks for the replies.
The check box I'm referring to is the one in front of a contact or group name in the wizard. It is the selection check box.
When I'm in the Core config making changes, the service is out of sync after I have made the change. It then says Synced after I apply the configuration. It never says out of sync at any other time.

Re: Changes to Host or Service not displaying in Wizard
As indicated by both Admin and I,the wizard dose not read or act on any configuration information in Nagios or from previous runs.
As a general rule, web pages and the HTML that is used to draw them can be misleading. Double check any information provided by a form by at least two other sources, it may be that the form is just being created incorrectly. This is particularly true of check boxes, radio buttons, selection lists, and pull downs, as some times they are set using the correct HTML syntax for a Text box.
This is not a bug, from every thing you have told us thus far. You are reporting a feature and I'm indicating that it exists and is currently designed to operate that way.
