Host alias is being overridden by template alias
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:33 am
I have an issue where an alias inside templates are overriding the hosts own alias. Let me use screenshots to explain:
The first screenshot shows the problem. Here you can see that the alias is not what I have defined on the host (shown in next screenshot). Instead this alias is actually inside a host template.
The next screenshot shows:
Finally this is a screenshot of the host configuration file in the backend.
How do I fix this problem? It is occurring on more than just this one object.

The next screenshot shows:
- The host definition
The 1st template used by the host
the template that the 1st host template uses
