Hi Mark,

When I try to add a host/test to the list and click "update record" nothing
happens, and the host/test is not added. The page does (quickly) reload
though, with the host and test pre-filled in.

Keep in mind, that for this to work quickly while testing, and have something
show up in the critical systems page, I choose a test that is currently red or
yellow and attempt to add it. :)

Also, you can get a quick indication that it worked or didn't by setting the
host/test in the form and clicking search after attempting to add it. A popup
will tell you if the host was not found.


Under apache, when I add a host/test and click "update record", I get a popup
that says (something like) "record added"

nginx logs show http 200 results on submission of the form, so there is not
much I have to go on.

Thanks for any help with this.

Bill
