Can't delete unconfigured objects

Can't seem to be able to delete any unconfigured objects either by clicking on the actions cross or selecting the tickbox and clicking the cross on the bottom of the page.

The page does reload and gives an "Objects deleted." however they are always there...

- New ones show up ok
- I use https
- I had a look at this http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... red#p11991 and it still doesn't work either with $cfg['use_https']=true; or with $cfg['use_https']=false;

We have seen that if you have a ton of items at one go in the file that they can get stuck. I believe this may be due to a php timeout.

You can delete the file
/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects
And it will re-created with new items.

Thanks, that does clean them indeed however they show up again (obviously) as they're sent every 1 minute or so... 4 hosts and a total of 18 services and still can't delete them...

Are those too many? I believe i had many more in the past and never gave me problems.

Can you show me the file permissions of that file

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects

By chance do you see nested results as outlined in this post?

We also seen this reported from multiple sources now, and we've got it posted to our bug tracker:
http://tracker.nagios.com/view.php?id=201

We'll see if we can recreate it and get it fixed for our next revision.

@scottwilkerson I did see that for a short time but clicking on the cross next to the service itself magically solved the table nesting problem.

Unrelated but input (we do use 99% nrdp checks so I deal with it alot):
One thing I still find annoying is the fact that if I just want to configure a specific unconfigured service and there are other ones standing there I have to delete the ones i don't want and then proceed with configuring the ones I want... a usability addition that would be very welcomed would be to be able to select also which services to configure whilst ignoring others

You should be able to select just the items you want to configure and click the blue triangle at the bottom of the page to configure just those items

Indeed but there is only one tick box per host, not one per service so if a host has others that one doesn't want to configure has to do what i mentioned above
