CMK version:
CheckMK 2.4p4 raw
OS version:
Docker on Debian
Error message:
Grouping by view is broken on CMK 2.4, at least when grouping is based on tags. It was working fine in “check-mk-raw-docker-2.3.0p30” before the upgrade. I upgraded to “check-mk-raw-docker-2.4.0p2” and it broke. It was the only thing that was broken after the update, so I thought I’d stay on 2.4x instead of rolling back, thinking it would be fixed soon.
I just upgraded to 2.4.0p4 and it’s still broken, so now logging the issue.
This is what I have as part of the view configuration:
I can’t recall if that’s a custom tag I created years ago but in any case, everything I probe has a location tag set, and there are two locations in total. Here is an example of some things I monitor:
That screenshot is in CMK 2.4. The LT* devices are in the first location. The GT* and other devices are in the second location. I sort on location tag since the grouping is broken. You can see that the sorting works, since the LT* devices are first.
In CMK 2.4, everything gets grouped into a single box, with “N/A” as the title.
How it should look is how it was in CMK 2.3 where it worked perfectly - devices tagged with “location1” would be in one box, and devices in “location2” would be in another separate box, and the location names would be the box title, instead of “N/A”.
Clearly some grouping code is now broken. Can devs please investigate and fix? Thanks.
