notes_url and action_url configured on host group objects

[Christian Anton]

Hi!

I am wondering about the configuration settings notes_url and actions_url which can be set at a per-hostgroup level. The documentation says, the host belonging to the host group should then show the action_url and/or notes_url as it would have been configured on the host object. This does not work the way I would expect.

Tested with one host group having notes_url set to "http://notes.url/from/host/group" and action_url set to "http://action.url/from/hostgroup" and two hosts. One of the hosts (testhost01) had action_url set to http://action.url/from/host/object" and notes_url set to "http://notes.url/from/host/object", the other host object (testhost02) doesn't have notes_url and action_url set. 

With the test scenario above, when I look at testhost01 in extinfo.cgi, I see this host having notes_url set to http://notes.url/from/host/object and action_url set to http://action.url/from/host/object, which is the expected behavior. 

Looking at the object testhost02 in extinfo shows me NO action_url nor a notes_url set for this host. I would have expected to inherit these settings from the host group.


Am I gettings something completely wrong? What is notes_url and action_url at a host group level for then, if not for inheriting these parameters to the contained host objects?


Thanks a lot for any clarification.
