Package: nagios-text
Version: 2:1.3-cvs.20050402-2.sarge.1
Severity: normal
Nagios truncates the value of object definition directives after the
first semicolon in the value string. I found nothing in the documentation
regarding this, neither Google gave any solution. The behaviour is
rather annoying for me as I use Perl's "-e" construct in notification
commands. It worked with the NetSaint version in Woody, so this is
a regression of some kind..
Here are the trials I made, in vain, to escape the semicolon:
# no escaping
define command {
command_name test-command-1
command_line /bin/echo foo; /bin/echo bar
}
# double quotes
define command {
command_name test-command-2
command_line /bin/echo "foo;bar"
}
# double quotes around whole value
define command {
command_name test-command-3
command_line "/bin/echo foo;bar"
}
# single quotes
define command {
command_name test-command-4
command_line /bin/echo 'foo;bar'
}
# single quotes around whole value
define command {
command_name test-command-5
command_line '/bin/echo foo;bar'
}
# backslash
define command {
command_name test-command-6
command_line /bin/echo foo\;bar
}
# dollar sign (Googlin' around I find someone suggesting this)
define command {
command_name test-command-7
command_line /bin/echo foo$;bar
}
# semicolon enclosed in dollar signs
define command {
command_name test-command-8
command_line /bin/echo foo$;$bar
}
And the values Nagios stored, as the CGI prints them:
test-command-1 /bin/echo foo
test-command-2 /bin/echo "foo
test-command-3 "/bin/echo foo
test-command-4 /bin/echo 'foo
test-command-5 '/bin/echo foo
test-command-6 /bin/echo foo\
test-command-7 /bin/echo foo$
test-command-8 /bin/echo foo$
It also applies to other object types/directives, eg.:
define service {
use generic-service ; Name of service
template to use
host_name localhost
service_description TESTONLY
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups sysadmins
notification_interval 1440
notification_period 24x7
check_command test-command-1!foo;bar
}
Which gives the value, as printed by the CGI:
test-command-1!foo
I suppose the bug is in the xedtemplate_process_config_file() function
(xdata/xedtemplate.c[175]),
but had not verified this.
