Dear Folks, I am writing to report a possible anomaly/bug in avail.cgi for Nag 2.0 rc2
(RPM based on Dag Wieers for RHEL3). The problem is that when a host has exited a period of scheduled downtime, the 'Host log entries' shown by avail.cgi look like Event Start Time Event End Time Event Duration Event/State Type Event/State Information 01-02-2006 00:00:00 01-02-2006 14:27:54 0d 14h 27m 54s HOST UP (HARD) PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.82 ms 02-02-2006 20:59:44 02-02-2006 20:59:44 0d 0h 0m 0s HOST DOWN (HARD) CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds 02-02-2006 20:59:44 02-02-2006 21:06:53 0d 0h 7m 9s HOST DOWNTIME START Start of scheduled downtime 02-02-2006 21:06:53 02-02-2006 22:59:44 0d 1h 52m 51s HOST UP (HARD) PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.71 ms 02-02-2006 22:59:44 03-02-2006 11:35:39 0d 12h 35m 55s+ HOST DOWNTIME END End of scheduled downtime and then the next time the Report is run the last line shows again how long it was since the host exited downtime (ie now minus the downtime end). eg Event Start Time Event End Time Event Duration Event/State Type Event/State Information 01-02-2006 00:00:00 01-02-2006 14:27:54 0d 14h 27m 54s HOST UP (HARD) PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.82 ms 02-02-2006 20:59:44 02-02-2006 20:59:44 0d 0h 0m 0s HOST DOWN (HARD) CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds 02-02-2006 20:59:44 02-02-2006 21:06:53 0d 0h 7m 9s HOST DOWNTIME START Start of scheduled downtime 02-02-2006 21:06:53 02-02-2006 22:59:44 0d 1h 52m 51s HOST UP (HARD) PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.71 ms 02-02-2006 22:59:44 03-02-2006 11:41:51 0d 12h 42m 7s+ HOST DOWNTIME END End of scheduled downtime This looks a little peculiar to me. It's not a bug but unfortunately violates the principle of least surprise (don't know what I was expecting but ..) and for those of us who mine the host log entries it means some code modification. The behaviour of the CGI seems Ok - the event duration is simply the time to the last event - and seems reasonable. Thanks for your time. Yours sincerely. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
