Discovered host labels

[rkgreg (Greg)]

Hi,
Running checkmk-v2 (2.0.0p3(CRE). I changed the name of my vCenter server from lower case to upper case to match DNS, so monitored machines would populate services correctly. After the change vCenter related services display properly.

Issue: Discovered host labels
There is always a “Vanished” cmk/piggyback_source_vcenterservername:yes (lowercase name) for each monitored server. The correct cmk/piggyback_source_vcenterservername:yes (uppercase name) shows up as active.

Is there something that can be cleared to remove the old “Vanished” label? Nothing in the GUI will make it go away. I have looked at the files and directories from here The Piggyback mechanism and everything listed is uppercase matching the correct vCenter name and DNS name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Greg

Did you find a solution yet @rkgreg? I am facing the exact same question.

[rkgreg (Greg)]

I have not found a solution. I believe it is a bug that needs to be addressed.

Hi @rkgreg,

you’re right. This a bug and we’re working on it.
In the meantime the only workaround is:
(As site user)
cmk -vvI HOSTNAME
cmk -O

or

cmk -vvII HOSTNAME
cmk -O

I can confirm that with 2.0.0p5 a click on Fix all in the discovery now removes vanished labels.
