[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#1014551: Bug#1014551: icinga2: check_apt not working if both master and host are running 2.13.4-1

[Jim Penny]

Services.conf has this stanza.

apply Service "apt" {
  check_command = "apt"
  vars.apt_upgrade = false
  command_endpoint = host.vars.client_endpoint
  assign where host.vars.do_apt
}

A typical barely sanitized entry in hosts.conf doing the apt check is:

object Host "xxxx.example.com" {
    check_command = "hostalive"
      address = "xxx.example.com"
      vars.client_endpoint = name
      vars.do_apt = true
      vars.syslog_ng_cnt = true;
      vars.notification["mail"] = {
         users = [ "jpenny" ]
      }
}

I have monitoring-plugins-basic installed, and check_apt is part of that
package.

So, I think that I am using the icinga2 checker.  I am definitely not using nrpe,
it is not installed on any of the systems.  There are no authorized_keys on
master, so I can't be suing ssh.

There is nothing remotely interesting in /var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log.

On host xxx, a failing system, grepping for xxx gives only two lines:

[2022-07-07 12:50:55 -0400] information/JsonRpcConnection: Received certificate request for CN 'xxx.example.com' signed by our CA.
[2022-07-07 12:50:55 -0400] information/JsonRpcConnection: The certificate for CN 'xxx.example.com' is valid and uptodate. Skipping automated renewal.

I hope that this is enough information to reproduce the problem.

Also, I have grepped source for "apt-get false upgrade",  but I don't find that string.

How do you execute check_apt on the hosts?

Do you use the icinga2 checker feature to run check_apt on the hosts or
check_by_ssh, NRPE, or something else?

In case of icinga2 checker feature, what does
/var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log contain?

How can your issue be reproduced?

Kind Regards,

Bas
