Browser autocomplete submitted my UID as Check Argument, causing errors

Hello

I discovered something strange: I was finetuning hosts that were running very stable on Centreon, boxes are Netscalers. I believe a browser autocomplete glitch filled in my user ID in the argumenst field under the Check command. By mistake I saved the hosts like this. As off then, it seems that any bit behind the section where my UID is saved is not used during SNMP script execution, causing all hosts to display “UNKNOWN: Missing parameter Security Name.” with every service

, and I am afraid that this can be due to special character

 

I now tried to overwrite my UID value with string “test” and then something else and strange happens…

Seems that the argument is added to the NAME of the Check Command…

Error Notifier check command 'Net-Citrix-Netscaler-SNMP-Healthtest' specified for host 'GAITDC-SRVR-ADC-UAT-DGB' is not defined anywhere!

The name of the check is “Net-Citrix-netscaler-SNMP-Health” without test

How can I restore the config to yesterday morning, the point in time when everything was still working stable?

Update on the above…

The browser glitch is unrelated and can be ignored…

I can only get any Netscaler check command working by adding the authentication params to the SNMPEXTRAOPTIONS field - when added to the host template or to the individual host, anything after the snmp_community field seems to be ignored
