Hi all,
I am having a strange problem with syncing objects (here hostgroups) into the Icinga Director, where the import source is using the fileshipper.
The import from the CSV files works without problems and I have all the columns and their values visible in the preview tab.
The sync rule basically works as well and I can create a hostgroup off of each imported line.
The problem begins, when I want to add properties to the sync, like shown in the following screenshots:
only wanted to create one hostgroup at first, to test the assign_filter statement
assign_filter (ignore the lowercase ${hostgroup_name}, it was a test. The UPPERCASE isn’t working as well)
Sadly this results in all the hostgroups being imported:
And here is one of the host group objects, with the not correctly resolved assign filter:
So there seems to be a problem using the column values in the “Source Expression” or “Filter expression” fields, but the object_name property is correctly filled with the value of the source column.
I am pretty sure the filter expression or notation of the column is correct, so I’m somewhat stuck as to where look next.
Anyone here using the fileshipper to sync .csv or .xlsx files regularly and who can give me some tips and tricks or dos and don’ts to keep watch for :)?
Best regards
