how do I un-click this?

[SteveBeauchemin]

While updating a Template I clicked Up. I did not want to have that clicked for eternity. It was a mistake.

How can I un-click this?

Unfortunately the web interface won't allow you to unset it. But... setting it to UP will have the same effect as unsetting it.

It's likely a bug that the control loads up in the "untouched" state and won't let you un-touch it once touched - unless you dig into the developer tools.

Online documentation excerpt:

Host - initial state

By default Nagios will assume that all hosts are in UP states when in starts. You can override the initial state for a host by using this directive. Valid options are:
o = UP,
d = DOWN, and
u = UNREACHABLE.

Parameter name: initial_state
Required: no

If it really bothers you, you can edit it using an SQL command:

Code: Select all

mysql -unagiosql -pn@gweb nagiosql -e "update tbl_host set initial_state = '' where host_name = 'myhostname.example.com'"
