$HOSTALIAS$ macro acting weird again in 3.4.4

[wezelboy]

It looks like restarting nagios was a temporary fix. Once again nagios is replacing spaces with plus signs and special characters with their url encoded equivalent in the $HOSTALIAS$ macro on e-mail notifications.

hmmmm. This is something that should not be so inconsistent. Do you have more than 1 nagios process running?

Code: Select all

ps -aef | grep nagios
service nagios stop
killall nagios
service nagios start
ps -aef | grep nagios

I have multiple nagios processes running, but it looks like one of them was a zombie possibly leftover from the time of the upgrade. It is dead now.

Thanks for the tip!

Get your pitchforks and torches ready.

You might find this interesting, you are not the only one to experience this problem:
http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=407
There is a patch for core in the comments there. Are you restarting nagios through the command pipe?

[wezelboy]

That definitely sounds like my problem. I've applied the patch.

Thanks,
