template odd behavior.

We have a service template that contains other templates:

Code: Select all

Template 1  
               --- template 2
               ---  template 3 
This template works fine if we associate it with a host group:

Code: Select all

HOSTGROUP <-------Template 1
Result: all hosts within the hostgroup are checked correctly.
Problem:
if we associate the template to a host that is not in a(any) hostgroup checks do not run.
What we have done so far:
we have removed hosts from the Hostgroup, that while in the hostgroup were being checked correctly.
we then associated the template (Template1) to those individual hosts, and no checks. I don't mean that the checks failed, they did not show up.
put the hosts back into the HG and they run.
If we take the host out of the HG, and then associate all three templates individually to the host it works.

Did you have individual hosts specified at the service level? If so the settings here will take precedence. You can override this behavior by selecting the + in the "Host Options"
