Any ideas (See below)?
Does anyone have notifications with $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macro definitions
working?
Thanks,
Daniel
Running Nagios 3.06 and NRPE 2.12.
Nagios is running check_nrpe against a remote server running the NRPE daemon.
One of the NRPE commands kicks off a perl script which needs to return multiple
lines of output. The perl script does something like this:
print ("Line1;\nLine2;\nLine3;\n");
I'm trying to use the Nagios 3.0 multiline capability to get the output's
second and subsequent lines into the $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macro, which in turn
gets used in an email notification. I have other types of notifications (eg SMS
and Pagers) where I don't use the $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macro.
I'm following the doc at the following URL:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/pluginapi.html
I just can't get this to work properly.
If I run check_nrpe manually from the Nagios server, I see the multiple lines
displayed on the console. However, Nagios always appears to discard everything
after the first \n in the output.
The closest thing that I have been able to make work is to use something like
this in the perl script:
print ("Line1;\\rLine2;\\rLine3;\\r\n");
This appears to work, but upon further investigation I found out that this is
just placing everything into $SERVICEOUTPUT$. My SMS and Pager notifications
show all the output, even though they are not configured with the
$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macro.
Is there some setting in NRPE or Nagios that I need to set in order to support
Multiline outputs properly? Or is this a bug?
