I am currently running 3.2.1 (version packaged with Debian squeeze) quite
happily but I want to migrate to a new server so I decided I'd move to 4.0 as
well. I compiled 4.0.0-beta1 and after a bit of a slog finally have it mostly
working. I'm currently trying to get check_http to check for strings with
embedded spaces e.g. check that a page includes the string My Wonderful Web
Site but for the life of me I can NOT get it to work. On 3.2.1 I have this
command definition
define command{
command_name check_http_string
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c
$ARG3$ -s "$ARG4$"
}
and service definitions which include check_command lines like this:
check_command check_http_string!my.wonderfulwebsite.com!60!90!"\"My Wonderful
Web Site\""
and that works as expected, but the exact same thing does not work in 4.0.0
I have tried single quotes, and double quotes, in both the command definitions
and the service definitions. Seeing the error messages in the services seemed
to indicate that the quotes were getting included in the string, hence not
matching, I changed to escaping the spaces in the service definitions and this
worked, somewhat. I'm testing 4 services with check_http_string of which 3 are
identical frontends to the same website and yet of those 4 services, all but
one fails, and the one is one of the three identical servers.
As this struck me as more than a little bizarre, I decided to give the latest
stable Nagios, 3.5.0, a try. With that I was able to use the same config files
as with 4.0.0 and now, all 4 services pass.
Apart from "what do you expect from beta software" can anybody make any
suggestions?
Kindest regards,
Niall O Broin
