I would like to report two bugs in Nagios. I have confirmed these bugs
in Nagios 3.06, 3.10, and a build of the CVS checkout at 2:17PM PST May
6 2009.
The first bug relates to service escalations. According to the object
tricks documentation
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... ricks.html), it is valid
to define a service escalation as follows
define serviceescalation {
name office-escalation
register 0
host_name *
service_description *
escalation_period workhours
escalation_options c,u,r
}
On all three of the builds I tried, this results in a "Could not expand
services specified in service escalation" error. After consulting this
mailing list post
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network. ... devel/5933), I disabled
regex, which allows me to use "*" in host_name, but not in
service_description.
This bug could be a result of incorrect documentation in the tricks page.
The second bug is an annoyance for me. When defining a service
escalation, I found that the following escalation will generate _no_
service escalations, and will not give any errors or warnings.
define serviceescalation {
hostgroup_name myHostgroup
escalation_period workhours
escalation_options c,u,r
}
My assumption for how this behaved was that it would match all services
of the hostgroup. I am apparently incorrect (or another bug...), but in
my opinion a service escalation definition that results in 0 generated
service escalations should at the very least display a warning during
the syntax check.
