modified attributes are more prior (set via webgui) than the original config, so the core will use those and override settings from original config.

normally, you don't see that in the gui. you'll only see e.g. that notifications are disabled, then rush into the config, see that they are not, wonder why, look into retention.dat, see modified attributes. within #2473 they will be shown.

but we also need a way to actually reset those modified attributes accordingly via a command sent via cmd.cgi

CHANGE_HOST_MODATTR

CHANGE_HOST_MODATTR;;

This command changes the modified attributes value for the specified host. Modified attributes values are used by Icinga to determine which object properties should be retained across program restarts. Thus, modifying the value of the attributes can affect data retention. This is an advanced option and should only be used by people who are intimately familiar with the data retention logic in Icinga.

CHANGE_SVC_MODATTR

CHANGE_SVC_MODATTR;;;

This command changes the modified attributes value for the specified service. Modified attributes values are used by Icinga to determine which object properties should be retained across program restarts. Thus, modifying the value of the attributes can affect data retention. This is an advanced option and should only be used by people who are intimately familiar with the data retention logic in Icinga.

given that, the reset should set that to 0

Changesets

2012-04-23 17:43:23 +00:00 by mfriedrich 1538f2d

classic ui: add modified attributes row to extinfo.cgi showing diffs to original config #2473 add modified attributes reset command to extinfo.cgi allowing to reset to original config #2474

unluckily a combined commit for both.

thing is that current objects contain the
modified_attributes, which is stored in
retention.dat by the core, plus written/read
to/from status.dat
the cgis did not have that as statusdata
defined, so changed that, now keeping the
status objects with another attribute.

ever since modified_attributes is a bitmask
we need to re-calculate that into a string.
printing it plain (json) and colored (html)
makes this another row in extinfo.cgi

while seeing the modified_attributes, one
might want to reset those - just changing
the values won't reset the modification
itsself.

problem - normally cmd.cgi would not allow
to send CHANGE_* commands. this is now
opened, but only for the MODATTR change cmds
as well es only allowing new cgi GET param
'attr' to bet set to 0 (reset, MODATTR_NONE).
other values will provoke an error on the
cmd.cgi not allowing you to send that cmd
to the core, in order to prevent XSS and such.

combined, this generates another valuable
enhancement for the Icinga Classic UI :)

(the idoutils database already got those
information, so Icinga Web can fetch them
already)

plus: adding modified_attributes to json
output for extinfo.cgi too

plusplus: new cmd.cgi GET param 'attr'

hmpf. the cgis do not allow to send commands like CHANGE*

        if (!command || (strlen(command) > 6 && !memcmp("CHANGE", command, 6)))
                return ERROR;

this must be lowered for

CHANGE_HOST_MODATTR
CHANGE_SVC_MODATTR

well actually this can be done quite handy, allowing those 2 commands, and checking if the attr value is something different than MODATTR_NONE.

try it with a custom value

submit the form, works via POST, so send hidden values

fine, thanks for testing plus fixing smaller issues. we might then re-assign the docs issue as well.
