Hello, I have run into a data corruption problem with naginator that is
fairly difficult for me to track down. Hand-written configurations do
not suffer from this fate. This was present in .24.8, and still present
in .25.4. I'd love to complete this automatic nagios project, if anyone
has some ideas on narrowing down the source after reading the bug
report
(http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3712) please let me know.
David, just wanna say thanks for responding to this as it's driving me
absolutely insane and causing a project I want to end to linger forever.
You can try using a hex editor or similar to see what the actual
corruption is.
David, I tried this and got absolutely nowhere. I'm willing to believe
I am doing something wrong when analyzing the data, but the tests I've
tried which I think will narrow down the corruption actually make it
more difficult to diagnose. For example, if apt-proxys.cfg was having
the problem, and i renamed the hostgroup to ZZZZ, it would then claim
the error was in the next alphabetical hostname, say domino-servers,
until i get past a few and it runs.
Also, can you post a minimal configuration example that causes the
problem?
Here's the error: Error: Host ' ' specified in host group 'ad-servers'
is not defined anywhere!
Here's the .cfg file:
# HEADER: This file was autogenerated at Mon May 03 13:59:19 -0400 2010
# HEADER: by puppet. While it can still be managed manually, it
# HEADER: is definitely not recommended.
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name ad-servers
alias Active Directory Servers
}
Here is a hex dump

Now I change the file to this:
# HEADER: This file was autogenerated at Mon May 03 13:59:19 -0400 2010
# HEADER: by puppet. While it can still be managed manually, it
# HEADER: is definitely not recommended.
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name ZZ
alias Active Directory Servers
}
And I get this:
Error: Host ' ' specified in host group 'ZZ' is not defined anywhere!
It indicates to me that the file is fucked somehow. This is written
out from an exported and collected resource. Is it possible database
encoding comes into play here?
From where have you installed puppet? Packages, source? Can you
confirm that the installation is pristine?
I make my own packages but they are basically just dsc's from
ftp.ubuntu.org that I build for 8.04 LTS since the 8.04 LTS package is
so old. They are installed via apt.
Are you using storeconfigs? Is there maybe something wrong in the
database?
That's what I am wondering but I don't know what to look for. Things
look fine. The file itself, looks fine. There's corruption at the byte
level that isn't apparent to the human eye. Any idea what to check in
the DB?
I've used the nagios types from 0.25.4 today and they worked flawlessly.
I know, I think I may have even taken some inspiration from your modules.
Best regards, David
Anybody else care to chime in on this issue? Any mysql gurus?
