External commands do not propagate through realms

[mohierf]

On the demo configuration (realms North and South, children of default realm All), with 2 receivers (All and North), the external commands do not propagate, except for the realm All hosts. the ws module is attached to the receiver in the realm All.

:+1: - external command for an host in the realm All:

==> /usr/local/var/log/alignak/receiverd.log <==

The command is sent to the scheduler and executed

:-1: - external command for an host in the realm North:

The command is sent to the linked scheduler, but that's all ... host not found?

:-1: - external command for an host in the realm South:

==> /usr/local/var/log/alignak/receiverd.log <==
[2017-01-24 05:43:32 CET] WARNING: [alignak.external_command] Missing timestamp in command 'PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT', using [1485233012] as a timestamp.

The command is not even sent to the scheduler...

Indeed, it seems there are two problems:

• in the North realm, the command is received by the scheduler... The North realm has its own receiver which knows its own scheduler (scheduler-north). The command is sent to the scheduler...

• in the South realm the command is not received by the scheduler... The South realm do not have a dedicated receiver, and the master receiver knows the 3 existing schedulers. Which one does it choose?

A current workaround is to use a receiver with the sub realm management parameter
