Apologies if this list isn't appropriate for this question, but I thought I'd try here first.
We're trying to use the include_dir directive in NRPE with an /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/ directory. My assumption was that files in this directory would be loaded in alphanumeric order, but it seems to only load in alphabetical order, ignoring numerals. For instance, if I have these files: /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/000-fileone.cfg /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/100-filetwo.cfg and they both define the same command, I would expect the one in 100-filetwo.cfg to take precedence, as it should be loaded second. However, this is not the case. (I've verified the order they are loaded with debug=1). If I have these files, though: /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/aaa-fileone.cfg /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/bbb-filetwo.cfg then things work in the order I expect (checks defined in bbb-filetwo.cfg will override checks defined in aaa-fileone.cfg). I'm using NRPE 2.5.2, which I realize is slightly old (2.12 seems to be the most recent version). I can't find a bug report for this issue, though, so I'm not sure if it's been recognized as such, nor if it's been corrected in newer versions. In fact, I see no documentation anywhere that specifies the order in which files will be loaded from within a directory that's been included with include_dir. Has anybody seen this behavior? Am I correct in believing it to be a bug?
