php interface bug

[alj]

If you use host group in the "Actions" rule (like Host group = "groupname"), then if somebody deletes that host group, the reference to that group will not be deleted from Actions rules. Then if you try to edit Action rules to delete rule host group it will display error instead of rule and wont let you to delete it.

The only fix for that right now is to go to the database and manually add group with the same group id as it had before, then you will be able to remove it from the Actions rule.

Hi

this bug seems to be present in 1.4.5 !

It's exactly as described above, except that now the actions incl. the conditions are shown and therefore the fix is different (easier):

It is sufficient to delete the condition with Hostgroup = "" from the
list of conditions and save the action.

This should be fixed with a patch, I think.
I am not quite sure whether this action is still executed by the ZABBIX-Server.

I'll test this bug in 1.6 and report whether it's still in there.

Of what great value is the audit log:

2008.Aug.25 10:15:00	Admin	Host group	Deleted	Host group [SLA3_ZABBIX Server ] [4]

And the display of something like no hostgroup with id [4] !

Similar bug in 1.6 present

Hi

this bug no longer happens in 1.6, instead the whole action is deleted

I created a new hostgroup "ActionTests" with no hosts in it.
Then I created an Action "ActionTest" with three conditions:

1. Trigger description like "none"
2. Hostgroup = ActionTests
3. Hostgroup = otherGroup-containing-one-monitored-Server

and one operation: send mail to a non-empty user group.

If I delete the (empty) hostgroup "ActionTests" the action is
no longer shown in the user interface.

Normally I would expect that the condition containing the deleted
hostgroup is removed from the action and that's it.

EDIT: Further investigations show, that the actions are still in the database (MySQL), just not shown
on the Configuration/Actions web page !

Norbert.
