Hi list, we are using Icinga v2.4.10, on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed from the formorer PPA. We are using icinga2-classicui from the same ppa.I’m seeing the /var/lib/icinga2/modified-attributes.conf file that gets new data when we switch something in the classicui, for example if we turn off notifications for a service. Then when we ‘revert’ the setting, the file gets updated. But the entry in that file is there forever, no matter what we do in the classicui, and it will override any modification that we do in the service configuration file. I’ll try to overcome my non-native-english with an explicit example: - you start with a pretty common scenario, a service with active checks and nothing special - from classicui you click “disable notifications for service”, the ui shows notifications disabled and modified attributes “None” - the modified-attributes.conf does not show anything, I don’t know if Icinga2 persisted the setting somewhere else or if it’s just in ram - if we reload or restart Icinga2, the modified-attributes.conf gets an entry added for that service which contains "obj.modify_attribute("enable_notifications", false)” So far so good. Now, if in the classic ui we click “Reset Modified Attributes”, nothing at all happens. Notifications stay disabled, the modified-attributes.conf file does not change even on Icinga2 restart. I guess this could be intended behavior, maybe disabling notifications is not a “modified attribute” ? Let’s go on... - in the classic ui we now click “Enable notifications for this service” - notifications are correctly re-enabled and the ui does not show anymore the “notification disabled” icon on that service - modified-attributes.conf again does not get updated at runtime - after reload or restart of icinga2, the entry in modified-attributes.conf is still there but has been updated to read "obj.modify_attribute("enable_notifications", true)” So we end up with a pile of “enable_<stuff>”, true whenever we use the UI to temporarily switch off notifications, or active checks, or whatever, and then re-enable them later on. Annoying, but the real problem is if we change the service configuration. After that disable-and-enable dance imagine that we modify the .conf file where the service is defined, and we set enable_notifications=false there. We reload Icinga2… and notifications are still enabled! That’s because the modified-attributes.conf file overrides our service config file and sets them true. As far as I can tell, there is no way from the ClassicUI to tell Icinga2 “remove any overriding setting and just use whatever is in the main configuration”. Clicking “enable X” or “disable X” will force that setting forever even if the service configuration changes and using the “reset modified attributes” link seems to do nothing. The only way to be sure to get applied what we put in the service configuration is to stop Icinga2 and manually “clean” the modified-attributes.conf file, removing the settings that are not real exceptions to the configuration. Are we doing something wrong? How could we tell Icinga2 to forget about any “override” and just apply the service configuration as is?
The workaround is to fetch the "original_attributes" attribute and then modify the attribute to its original value. There is a known bug inside the restore-attribute functionality but this isn't exposed in the API actions currently. Wasn't really aware that the Classic UI reset modified attributes external command is still intact and in use. Icinga Web 2 doesn't use it obviously. https://dev.icinga.org/issues/11573 - the feature which unveiled the bug requiring major changes, that is why it is stalled until 2.5 is released. Kind regards, Michael
