Nagios Monitoring

Renaming a host to the same name except for case will require 2 commits. The renaming of a host to the same name with differences only in the case of the characters is possible, but requires committing the configuration twice.

Run the Commit (or, for Parent Managed Child, the Build Instance) process a second time, and the renamed host will appear. 

Nagios Monitoring

Adding two hosts with the same name except for case will not work. If you ever find you need to have two hosts with the same name except for case in the Nagios system, this is allowed. It will not show both hosts, however, only the first one you add, and it won't work at all if you do it in a single commit.

To do this (admittedly really rare thing), fist add one of the hosts. Choose the one with the name you want to see, add it and commit. Then add the second and commit. The second host's services will be merged into the first. 

LDAP

Cannot delete users created by LDAP sync. If you sync LDAP to GroundWork, the users who log in are imported. There's not much point in deleting them unless you disconnect the LDAP server, but even if you do so, the delete function isn't working.

There is a work-around, but then again there's no harm in leaving these user accounts alone. They will fail login once the LDAP server is inactive. If you really must delete them, please contact support. 

Nagios Container

It's possible to overload the Nagios instance in GroundWork. Nagios uses workers that communicate with the services it runs. In some cases the default provisioning isn't enough to keep up with a really active alert stream.

You can override the default provisioning of workers in Nagios with the check_workers directive. See How to configure check_workers.

Custom Reports

Optional Jasper Server slow to start. If one starts the optional Jasper Server, it may take several minutes to become available.

Wait several minutes after starting the system with the Jasper Server loaded before accessing the Custom Reports menu item. 

TCG-SNMP restart generates unknown status

When restarting the (new) TCG-SNMP connector, the initial poll may generate UNKNOWN status for the network interfaces. 

We recommend adjusting the notification rules for this to avoid alarm fatigue. 

Cron-Controlled GroundWork containers generate SUSPENDED alerts

Jobs scheduled VIA the cron container generate SUSPENDED alerts. This is correct behavior, but may cause unwanted alarms.

We recommend adjusting the notification rules for this to avoid alarm fatigue. A separate rule for the DOCK-H:cadvisor group with a 1-minute delay can suppress these alarms.

Unattended mode install is not enabled

The installer won't support the --unattended  mode option to install standalone with default settings in this version. 

This convenience feature will be enabled again in future versions.  

Archive Migration initially incomplete

Upgrades to the system will migrate the foundation database but will not completely migrate the archive database until the first archive run (overnight in the cron timezone)

This may affect any queries you want to run against the archive database, especially those for host address values, but only for the day of upgrade.
