Distributed monitoring GUI bug(s)

[xs-]

Several bug reports are filed about this
(ZBX-465, ZBX-459)

Node -> node updates (data + configuration) are working correctly, data is coming in and is available.
I believe the problem lies in the GUI on the master node. Latest data screen shows no updates / is empty, although the data is available (graph/history views show the data correctly).
Trigger overview also show part of the 'reality' from the child node. I haven't tried testing with trigger actions on the master node yet (this is separate since this is done by zabbix_server and not the GUI).

This situation (for me at least) is a bit problematic, since we rely on correct information on a central master node receiving updates from child nodes and doing trigger evaluations. The overviews are mis-informing those who are viewing them =\

Action creation on the master node.
new condition -> hostgroup -> select hostgroup from other node
Error: Incorrect Group

I suspect this will be the same for hosts and / or other stuff from a non-local node.

Another small note.
On a DM Master node, if a user has no permissions for 'local' hosts but only for hosts on a child node, the GUI will not show the 'Show: With Subnodes' selection pulldown. If you define this using a get variable (url?with_subnodes=1) it does work tho.

Small update:

• DM node sync (on master node) does not update item records.
  Fields like nextcheck, lastvalue, lastclock, prevvalue, are not updated when processing the node_cksum table / history updates from a child node.
  
• Action conditions from non-local node objects (hosts/hostgroups) are still not accepted.
  
• 'Show: With subnodes' pulldown issue, still applies in latest svn checkout.
