Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

My check return something like:

<a href="#" onclick="javascript: var one; command one; command two; command three; function f_one(one); return true">link</a>

But nagios change semicolon with colon. What can I do? (idea with bracket falls).

Best regards!

Are you using a custom made check or one you found and are trying to use, can you provide an example? If you could just elaborate a little bit, the information the check is returning is being changed from what you think it should be?

This is expected behavior but I'm not sure what the rationale for it is. I've asked a Nagios developer why it does that and I'll let you know when he gets back to me.

This is my check. I want use javascript in output. For example (from head) if my check return:

<a href="#" onclick="javascript: alert(1); alert(2); ">test</a>

Nagios will change semicolon in source code with colon like:

<a href="#" onclick="javascript: alert(1): alert(2): ">test</a>

After that, browser can't interpreting JS language.

Here's what I learned: Apparently semicolons are taken as an indicator of perfdata, so they're not allowed in normal plugin output. I think this means you won't be able to embed javascript in your results.
