Description Tom Yates 2016-04-15 09:38:56 UTC
Description of problem:
Given a munin installation configured to report into NAGIOS via 
"contact.nagios.command /usr/sbin/send_nsca -H localhost -c /etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg"
upgrading causes munin-limits to stop reporting the fourth field into send_nsca (the actual variable state).  This causes NAGIOS to interpret the results as host status checks instead of service status checks, which causes a LOT of freshness errors.

I've reconfigured munin to cat to file instead of sending to send_nsca, which is why I think the fourth field is missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.25-11

How reproducible:
Unsure

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to munin-2.0.25-11
2. Run munin-limits --force


Actual results:
teaparty        mail throughput 0 
teaparty        eth0 traffic    0 
teaparty        df      0 

leading to NAGIOS logging

[1460701578] PASSIVE HOST CHECK: teaparty;0;0
[1460701578] PASSIVE HOST CHECK: teaparty;0;0
[1460701578] PASSIVE HOST CHECK: teaparty;0;0


Expected results:
teaparty        mail throughput 0       OKs: sent is 0.03.
teaparty        eth0 traffic    0       OKs: received is 4304.81, bps is 7974.01.
teaparty        df      0       OKs: / is 9.16, /boot is 19.81.

Have you filed this bug with upstream?

https://github.com/munin-monitoring/munin/issues

Comment 2 Tom Yates 2016-04-16 08:21:49 UTC
I haven't; I wasn't sure that the issue was in upstream, not the repackaging.  I am happy to file with upstream if you can give me that assurance.

Comment 3 Tom Yates 2016-04-21 08:29:32 UTC
Not least because the problem wasn't there in munin 2.0.25-2, and downgrading to those packages immediately fixed the problem.   If I understand the numbering correctly, the differences there are entirely EPEL's - munin just releases 2.0.25.

Comment 4 d. johnson 2016-04-22 01:21:20 UTC
Not entirely accurate, 2.0.25-5 integrated the pre-2.0.26 patches that have not been released yet. They have not changed either, so the author was OK with a pre-release patch until he was ready to release 2.0.26.

Comment 5 Tom Yates 2016-04-25 08:29:33 UTC
That makes sense (thank you!), but as far as I can tell from https://github.com/munin-monitoring/munin/releases 2.0.26 was never released, so I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to log with upstream.  If anything, it seems to me like upstream are moving towards a 3.0 release (their dev release is *way* past 2.1, currently at 2.999.2).  Perhaps epel should back out the 2.0.26-inspired changes, and hold fire until upstream release a new production version?

Comment 6 Tom Yates 2018-08-24 10:24:55 UTC
OK, the problem is in upstream, I've just built 2.0.39 on CentOS 7 and I have the same problem.

I have logged this with them at https://github.com/munin-monitoring/munin/issues/1052 .

Comment 7 Tom Yates 2018-08-28 08:21:34 UTC
Upstream have produced a (three-line) patch which works for me with C6 and EPEL munin 2.0.33-1.  Having restored EPEL munin to my (one and only) C7 server, I can confirm it works there, too.

Interestingly, upstream say the regression was introduced in 2.0.26, which fits with the timing we see.

Comment 8 Kim B. Heino 2018-09-15 07:50:47 UTC
Upstream patch at:

https://github.com/munin-monitoring/munin/commit/f0fa843b34918a43e312777037c762d5638af275

It will be included in 2.0.41.
