Package: mon
Version: 0.99.2-2
Severity: important
If the length of the first line of the output of a monitor script is more
than 31000 characters, monshow will die like this:
$ monshow
zsh: segmentation fault monshow
monshow as a CGI script will fail, too; apache will send "500 Internal Server
Error"
The problem is easy to reproduce:
excerpt from mon.cf:
----
watch whatever
service whatever
interval 1m
monitor failure.monitor /tmp/a
period wd {Sun-Sat}
alertevery 7h
alertafter 1
alert mail.alert r...@localhost
----
the "failure.monitor" script:
----
#!/bin/sh
/bin/cat "$1"
exit 1
----
fill up /tmp/a with junk:
# python -c 'print 31000*"x"+"\n\n"' >/tmp/a
However, mon functions correctly, and sends out the alerts properly.
I gave this bug important priority, because a runaway monitor script can
easily create a long summary line, which breaks monshow, so you can't get
up-to-date online information on the status of your services.

Gabor Vitez
