Check_nt uptime return wrong value

[skeith]

Hi everyone,

I have the nsclient version 0.4.3.88 on my entire organization, monitored by the last nagios core, I use the check_nt plugin, with some basic checks and i've problems with the UPTIME command.
It will often return a wrong value, the value is like a floating number where, for example, 70000 is equal to 7. Here's my test:

command for testing (i did a check more times in one minute):

Code: Select all

./check_nt -H host -p 12489 -s password -v UPTIME -l seconds

results:

Code: Select all

System Uptime - 392 day(s)  6 hour(s) 8 minute(s) |uptime=33890897
System Uptime - 392 day(s) 6  hour(s) 8 minute(s) |uptime=33890898
System Uptime - 392 day(s) 6  hour(s) 8 minute(s) |uptime=33890899
System Uptime - 3   day(s) 22 hour(s) 8 minute(s) |uptime=338909

can you tell me how to fix the problem?

The problem is with nsclient version 0.4.3.88, it is a bug, I experience the same thing. I validated that it does work properly with nsclient version 0.3.9.

We still recommend nsclient version 0.3.9 as the stable version.

You should report the issue here on GitHub so it gets fixed:

I find that 0.4.1.105 is stable.

0.4.2.x and 0.4.3.x has undergone a complete rewrite by the developer and not everything works as expected, it's very frustrating.

Yes it's true, i used for a long time 0.3.9 version and i've never found this bug.
