In the next beta upload (http://beta.woodstone.nu) there will be a registry setting for the hostid. OR the hostId will be the one of the copied entry OR it will be empty when doing a copy.

(for instance, I have 8 servers for Citrix. I created the checks for the first then duplicated for the other 7.) The trick, I have learned, is that when you duplicate a check, (with CTRL-D for instance,) the HostID of the original check is maintained on the "Copy of" window instead of being blanked out or set to a new unique value. If you change the settings but don't clear the HostID, it will save as a duplicated HostID of the original. Then, when you have interchange data and RRD graphs that are strictly tied to the HostID then the last occurance of a duplicated HostID will overwrite the data being saved for each of the prior occurances. If you delete the HostID value, it will be set to a unique ID upon saving and the issue goes away. So, Dirk, to extend my original feature request... Can I get a bugfix on the side? Can the HostID be cleared when we duplicate a check? -Rob > I use Host IDs to do just that - id a host. Each host gets a unique > ID and all checks for that host use the same ID.
