[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#743931: icinga: Check command not found depending on service name contents

[Joerg Jaspert]

Package: icinga
Version: 1.7.1-5~bpo60+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

first off, this is with a plenty old icinga version, so it is possible
it could be fixed already. I can only update in some 3 to 6 months
time though, and Alexander Wirt said I should file a bug anyways, so
here it goes:

Whenever a service check name contains the string "  UNUSED" at the
end, icinga goes "I cant find the command for this check".

Take the following lines, they are taken from the diff when I found
and fixed the issue. While this is condensed, there really are only
such changes removing the string.

-      name: "GigabitEthernet2/4  UNUSED"
+      name: "GigabitEthernet2/4"
-      name: "Fast Ethernet Port 20044  UNUSED"
+      name: "Fast Ethernet Port 20044"
-      name: "RMON Port 13 on Unit 1  UNUSED"
+      name: "RMON Port 13 on Unit 1"
-      name: "HP VC Flex-10/10D Module 4.10 d14  UNUSED"
+      name: "HP VC Flex-10/10D Module 4.10 d14"

*NOTHING* else got changed in the config. With the UNUSED removed (ie
the + lines), icinga works all nice and fine, all checks finish as
expected, all good.

Now take the - lines into the config, ie plain adding "  UNUSED", and
icinga goes haywire:

[1396955917] The command defined for service GigabitEthernet2/4  UNUSED does not exist

Obviously the command exists. Its used fine when "  UNUSED" isnt
there. It also works manually.

Turning debug log to -1, then looking for it, gave *ME* no clue
either. I could see icinga starting the service check, building up the
command line to run. All fine to the end, all variables replaced,
perfect. Cppy/Paste the result, all works. It runs it (or tries to),
says output goes to a tempfile, it reads that, it breaks and says
command not found.  Also says "Exit code 127".

I can't currently attach the debug log as it got deleted already (and
was really too big, in the size of gigabytes), but if you really need
it, I can see if I can recreate something for you.


For completness sake I reproduce a service check config here. Its the
one that works, but to make it break, just add the "  UNUSED" to its name:

    -
      name: "Fast Ethernet Port 20044"

}
