Subject: [Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#685457: nsca: Incompatibility between
munin and nsca-2.9.1
From: Xiwen Cheng <[email protected]>
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[email protected]>
Date: 2012-08-21 00:22
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
that change was introduced upstream, where you should put your request
to change as well. try tracker.nagios.org or the nagios-devel mailinglist.
j2mc,
michael
Kind regards,
Xiwen
