WAS THIS PAGE HELPFUL? Leave Feedback

Overview

This is a temporary workaround. Very large host groups may cause errors on REST API update when setting regular or scheduled downtime. Please follow the steps below as recommended edits.

Steps

1. Edit the following file and save:

   /usr/local/groundwork/php/etc/php.ini

   • Under the section Resource Limits, change the following to:

     max_input_vars = 10000

     and

     memory_limit = 512M

2. Edit the following file and save:

   /usr/local/groundwork/config/rstools/config.php

   • Add this to the bottom of the file before the last "}" brace:

     const DOWNTIME_MAX_ELEMENTS = 6000;
     const DOWNTIME_HOSTGROUP_HOST_BIZ_BULK = 50;
     const DOWNTIME_HOSTGROUP_SERVICE_BIZ_BULK = 4;
