Hostgroup compatibility with Nagvis

[MartinOehler]

A current shinken installation (installed via python pip) using the livestatus module seems to have
a compatibility issue in the way Nagvis pulls the Information for hostgroups.

It is working with hosts and services but Nagvis cannot find the Hostgroup inside the information
provided by the livestatus module. Dumping the livestatus queries leads to this:

    ge_contains_filter raise LiveStatusQueryError(450, attribute.replace('lsm_', ''))
LiveStatusQueryError: (450, 'staleness')

Can this please be fixed? Non-working hostgroups with Nagvis are quite annoying in larger
monitoring setups.

Thanks in advance,
Martin

For everyone else having this problem: the current mod-livestatus module works with Nagvis 1.7.x. Nagvis 1.8 or later needs at least the staleness field. See Issue #15 .
