Description Wade Mealing 2009-04-09 02:39:33 UTC
Description of problem:

The nanny man page specifies..

-x|--expect_str= ARG

             - snip -

             If  this  option is omitted then no attempt to receive data will
             occur EXCEPT if port = 80 and send_str is also omitted, in which
             case  a  web  service is assumed and an http test string will be
             sent and expected  (for  backwards  compatibility  with  earlier
             releases of piranha).

             - snip -

Although this doesn't seem to be the how the system behaves.  Instead the code returns and the error code is gobbled up by the forking program.

       if ((port == 80) && (send_str == NULL) && (expect_str == NULL)
           && (send_program == NULL)) {
               fprintf (stderr, _("nanny: no monitor configured\n"));

No Default web service is assumed and no http test string is sent.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Piranah 0.8.4 11

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a service in piranah to monitor.
2. Do not configure a send and expect string
3. Start probe
  
Actual results:

lvs[25207]: nanny for child virtual-http/rs1 died! shutting down lvs
lvs[25207]: nanny for child virtual-http/rs2 died! shutting down lvs

Expected results:

Use a default webservice query: Server to seem to be up.

lvs[27043]: create_monitor for virtual-http/rs1 running as pid 27053
nanny[27054]: nanny: no monitor configured, assuming web service on port

Additional info:

Patch to make happen attached.  

Props to Ranjith Rajaram in helping out with the patch.

Comment 2 Marek Grac 2009-05-04 12:02:30 UTC
Thanks for patch, I changed a bit so it will work as before for non-80 port.
