Nagios XI hostname alias

Post by atsb »

Hello

About nagios XI environment
1) Linux Distribution and version? Centos7
2) 32 or 64bit? 64bit
3) VMware Image or Manual Install of XI? Manual install
4) Are there special configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? Are you using a proxy? Are you using SSL? SSL
5) NagiosXI version: 5.6.2

With new update to 5.6.x host and service status pages show host name as hostname(alias). Why is that and where can we switch it back to show only hostname?

It's a new feature in 5.6 and we currently have a feature request submitted with our dev team to make it a configurable option.
