[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#615133: nagios-plugins: check_sensors does not trap 'FAULT' status

[Jonathan Wiltshire]

Package: nagios-plugins
Version: 1.4.15-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

The nagios plugin check_sensors does not detect the 'FAULT' status:

beast:~# sensors
pc87427-isa-0700
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1:       3924 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
fan3:          FAULT  (min =    0 RPM)
fan4:          FAULT  (min =    0 RPM)
fan8:       3813 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)

beast:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_sensors 
sensor ok

The attached patch causes check_sensors to return a critical status if faulty
sensors are detected.
