look for retention.dat and the host alias savings/restoring during a 
core restart. this is not related to ndo itsself, other topics target 
that feature/issue too.

Hi Michael,
thank you for the fast answer. After looking at documentation I set up
 
retail_nonstatus_informatoin=0 in my Host Template. 
I've looked at the retension.dat, but there still standing the name before changing Alias Value.
 
Do you know the changes between Nagios 3.2.1 and Nagios 3.2.3 in the retension Part? With nagios 3.2.1 everything working fine for moving files to the Database...

Christian

This issue has just been raised to me in older versions of Opsview as well, so I thought I'd look into this here.

I can't see why display_name and alias are saved to retention.dat as retention.dat is meant to hold data that changes over time (and I don't believe these values are dynamically updatable).

So if no one raises an objection, I'm going to back out this change from trunk tomorrow.

I've reverted this in trunk now. Thanks to Michael for finding the original solution.

Thanks for pushing this upstream - there are many different bug reports 
sourcing from that over the past year - ndo, livestatus, checkmk, omd, 
nagios core itsself.
this could be resolved pushing that into a new release (or just 
cherry-picking those into a bugfix release branch onto 3.2.4 while 
keeping the master up for 3.3.x).

although there are still some bugs open / patches to be applied. time to 
have look into the following pending from my side?

[PATCH] core: fix race condition on flexible downtime commands when 
duration not set or zero

[PATCH] sanitize compiler warnings on size_t in    common/macros.c

[PATCH] move thread safe macro function prototypes with suffix _r and 
restore old compatible prototypes again


Furthermore, there's still this one to be diff'ed against nagios - 
"core: fix flexible downtime on service hard state change doesn't get 
triggered/activated #1128" 
https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-core.git;a=commit;h=7506386837a1ac856419262ab3aeab916c07b9db
and probably one against the recent perfdata macro safety on which i 
will be working after some days off.

Kind regards,
Michael
