Dear Folks, I am writing to present my observations on 3.0b6.
The synopsis is excellent but there are a few non show-stopping problems. Firstly, the performance of host detection is simply excellent and those contemplating mega installations should take great heart. As soon as the service check complete the max_checks, the host down notifications are unlaunched. The developer/s have done a great job (as usual). For our site, it used to take nearly 2 minutes after service checks failed to detect down hosts. Problems 1 ARG macros with ePN (may be without) $ARG$s appear to be instantiated differently to 2.x, and in such a way as to cause Perl plugins using Getopt (ie expecting args) to barf if called without args. Workaround: command_name!" " in services.cfg 2 Aberrant intermittent ePN behaviour Fri Nov 9 14:30:59 2007 Warning: Check of service 'Redundant link is operational' on host 'TRASW210' did not exit properly! This happens occasionally. Restart sorts it. Plugins _known_ to be good with ePN in 2.x/passed by new_mini_epn (which prob needs revising). 3 global_event_handler strangeness Not sure if this is bad, but Nag log shows Thu Nov 8 21:04:28 2007 GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER: NDCSW209;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler when global event handler runs. Event handler still called with the same args and seems to do the 'right thing'. >From my point of view, problem 2 is a concern (PITA to use the verancular). Looks like I will be trawling checks.c for the origin of this message. Thank you, Yours sincerely.
