Package: nagios-plugins-basic Version: 1.4.12-5 Severity: normal Hi!
It seems that the results of the ntp checks depend on the used locale: ========================================= r...@longinus:~# locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= r...@longinus:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp_peer -H localhost -w 0.5 -c 1 NTP WARNING: Offset 0,014 secs|offset=0,014000s;0,000000;1,000000; r...@longinus:~# LANG=POSIX /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp_peer -H localhost -w 0.5 -c 1 NTP OK: Offset 0.014145 secs|offset=0.014145s;0.500000;1.000000; =========================================== Note that the values didn't change much, but the german locale uses a "," to sepperate decimal values instead of a dot. (Causes especially funny results, if you invoke the test via nrpe and the locale settings of the user starting nrpe influence the results of this test...)
