Description
Describe the bug
Filter in the host list for contacts or contactgroups. You'll notice that you get hosts where such a contact or group is notified about one of its services. They are not notified about the host, however.
To Reproduce
- Have a host
- Have a service on that host
- Configuration notifications for that service
- But not for the host
- Search with
user.name=...in the host list
Expected behavior
- The host doesn't appear in the host list (
host.user.name) - The service appears in the service list (
service.user.name)
If such a filter is used as restriction:
- Clicking on the host link (service list) or host tab (detail) a 404 appears
