Hosts in Latest Data not showing up after 1.4.4 upgrade

[nairb007]

I recently upgraded our 1.4.2 zabbix server(centos4,64-bit) to 1.4.4. Since that time, the Host column under the Latest Data form are all blank. Looking at the page source, it only shows nbsp for the data(no Hosts names). Looking at other sections of the Zabbix GUI(Configuration/Hosts) show all of the hostnames. If I query the postgres db all of the machine names are listed.

How I upgraded:

1. download zabbix_blah.tar.gz
2. configure with postgres and net-snmp and zabbix_server support
3. make install
4. copied zabbix_server binary to proper location
5. Renamed old 1.4.2 zabbix directory to zabbix_old and copied frontends to /var/www/zabbix
6. Copied old zabbix_server.conf file over to new location.
7. Fired up the zabbixserver startup script.

Anyone have a similar situation?

thanks

Can confirm this issue here too ... Did the same upgrading-steps, but on Debian Etch with a MySQL-backend ...


in 1.4.2 all worked, as it should ...


I tracked the issue down (hopefully correct) to "include/config.inc.php", to "get_node_name_by_elid($id_val, $forse_with_subnodes = null)" (line 270) ...


is_show_subnodes() returns false, and $ZBX_NODES is an empty array with no elements ... additionally, ZBX_DISABLE_SUBNODES is defined to int(1) ...


We don't use distributed Monitoring, just a single system with about 30 hosts to be monitored ...


Any ideas?



best regards,

Anton

Same here after a fresh install on Ubuntu 7.10 server x86_64.

Latest data show hostname in column "Host" when showing everything, donwsizing to a hostgroup gives an empty filed under "Host".

Same issue int the latest zabbix 1.4.5...

Someone has a solution to this issue ?

Weird. I wonder why this doesn't effect everyone. Maybe it has something to do with your browser cookie or zabbix groups?

I don't recall what version I was running before 1.4.4, but I haven't seen this in 144 or 145. I would highly recommend upgrading to 1.4.5 if you haven't already.

Oh, I'm running the 1.4.4 frontend and the 1.4.5 server.

Perhaps this is PostgreSQL specific, though I cannot confirm it.

[Anton]

Sorry, i'm using mysql ...

I could provide an ftp- and zabbix-account, if you want to have a look ...

Does Host column ALL blank? or the host name is shown near an Application names and blank near an items?

[Anton]

Does Host column ALL blank?

yes.

or the host name is shown near an Application names and blank near an items?

no ...

I see, there is no Application name shown thats why no host column.
Quick fix, apply this patch:

[Anton]

yes, now its working!

thanks!

[jean]

Thank you for this patch.
Question, this patch will be implement in the next versions of Zabbix 1.4.X and 1.6.X ?

[Aly]

It was a quick fix, a real one is different. It's already in SVN. If you like the previous one, you can use it till 1.4.6 released

Here is this real patch:
