Package: nsca Version: 2.9.1-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
The input format generated by munin (2.0.1-1) is not accepted by `send_nsca` when multiple results are chained in a single stream. The input stream is parsed incorrectly because of the recent addition: > When submitting multiple simultaneous results, separate each set with > the ETB character (^W or 0x17) However munin isn't aware of this change. I don't see why this format change was introduced. It is not needed and it breaks compatibility. I strongly believe the format should be reverted such that munin 2 and earlier (probably other tools/systems also) remain compatible. An extremely dirty workaround is use `tr` to substitute all occurences of \n with ETB prior to sending to `send_nsca`: > /etc/munin/munin.conf contact.nagios.command tr '\n' '\27' | /usr/sbin/send_nsca nagios.host.example -c /etc/send_nsca.cfg Kind regards, Xiwen -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nsca depends on: ii confget 1.03-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.44 ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libmcrypt4 2.5.8-3.1 ii nsca-client 2.9.1-2 nsca recommends no packages.
