We recently upgraded to version 1.6.0 pl6, and now it seems that we cannot
get the "all hosts" page to sort correctly. Is this a known issue, and if
so, what is the workaround?

Hi,
what is not working? I cannot say that there is a problem on my systems.
Best regards

Problem is on P5 as well. Two deployments, one on P5 one on P6. If you sort by just the folder name it works. If you sort by either relative or full path it gives random results that change every time the page refreshes. It also seems to split parts of some folders and show them in several pieces (seemingly randomly but I’m sure there’s some internal logic to it) in different parts of the list. Makes managing multiple areas of the facility difficult, since I can’t find things without searching — and quickly since they move ever 30 seconds.
Used to work perfectly prior to upgrading to 1.6…

Hi Stewart,
I suggestion from my site. Can you use the “Tree of Folders” snap-in on your sidebar?
I use this exactly for what you want to do. In the top drop-down menu select “Hosts” in the views “All hosts” and then select the folder you want to see.
You will get only the hosts inside this folder and below.
One idea why this is not working anymore - the full path is not available as a host tag anymore as before.
Best regards
Andreas

Partial success!!!
I’d never tried the “tree of folders” snap-in before. It does solve some of the issues, but not all. But at least I can get to the data now! I have a number of users who log in who are from different customers that I support. They had been getting limited by what contact groups each is in but the format was the same for all of them, since I have several things that I want everyone to see and I had them as the first folder for each location. Top of network devices, VPN tunnels, things like that. Just over 400 Mikrotik switches/routers/aps being tracked along with a few dozen or so legacy HP switches. Cameras, lighting systems, Crestrons, all sorts of fun toys.
This will be a “retraining” issue, but if the full path is no longer available then at least you have been able to help me immensely by suggesting this alternative. It might be a good idea to remove the full path option from the sort choices checkmk shows for views if it is no longer going to be available. I also found that I have to have each user add the snap-in, unless there is a way to add it globally that I haven’t found yet.
Again, thanks for the assistance. My next mission is getting a Raspberry Pi 4 to run as an in-home distributed monitoring host (using memory for everything of course since SSD writes would kill it) for a few of the larger homes where there are lots of devices being monitored. I have one with over 100 network devices that need to be watched (five 24 port 10Gb switches, half-dozen 5 port ap/switches, etc). Yes, a house. Should be fun.
