Bulk modification Tool

[IT-OPS-SYS]

i am trying to enable the host notification in the alert setting of the host for 20+ servers using the bulk modification tool.

I selected the single config option and selected the "notification enabled" field and i have tried the value (0/1 and On/Off) but still in the host setting the notifications enabled is showing "Off".

how can i achieve modifying the notification enabled in the alert setting of the host to "On" for most of my hosts.

As per the screenshot what should be the value we need to put on the bulk modification tool so that the notifcations should be enabled.

Hello @IT-OPS-SYS,

Thanks for posting the screenshots. What version of XI are you using as your screenshots are different than my test system? A couple more questions.

1. After changing the settings and selecting save, are there are any error messages? You should get an 'Updates saved successfully' message.

2. Did you Apply Configuration after saving the updates? If so, run the tail command below, Apply Configuration and post the file to the thread.

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log /var/log/httpd/*error_log &> /tmp/support.txt

3. Try changing the settings for just one host. It's possible something is timing out before it can complete. Do you get the same results?

it was surely a timeout issue hence this can be closed
