Description vlado.bilik@gmail.com 2019-05-08 12:59:15 UTC
Description of problem:
Previous release (2.2.1-4git.el7.x86_64) of check_icmp produces performance data in order rta/pl/rtmax/rtmin, i.e.:
rta=1.845ms;3000.000;5000.000;0; pl=0%;80;99;; rtmax=2.052ms;;;; rtmin=1.726ms;;;;

Latest release (2.2.1-16.20180725git3429dad.el7.x86_64) changed the order of data to rta/rtmax/rtmin/pl, i.e:
rta=1.845ms;3000.000;5000.000;0; rtmax=2.052ms;;;; rtmin=1.726ms;;;; pl=0%;80;99;;

This confuse the graphing software which handles the data and relies on given order of the data.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.2.1-16.20180725git3429dad.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_icmp google.com
OK - google.com rta 13.350ms lost 0%|rta=13.350ms;200.000;500.000;0; rtmax=13.459ms;;;; rtmin=13.248ms;;;; pl=0%;40;80;0;100

Actual results:
rta=13.350ms;200.000;500.000;0; rtmax=13.459ms;;;; rtmin=13.248ms;;;; pl=0%;40;80;0;100

Expected results:
rta=13.350ms;200.000;500.000;0; pl=0%;40;80;0;100 rtmax=13.459ms;;;; rtmin=13.248ms;;;;

This would normally be an upstream bug at https://github.com/nagios-plugins but that hasn't seen an update/fix since 2017 in main and mid 2018 in maintenance. 

The cause of the change is hard to find because they did a major reformatting which makes git blame say everything was due to one change. It looks like they reordered in 2016 for some reason.

Hi,
the problem seems to persist (tested with CentOS 6.10 i686):

-sh-4.1$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_icmp
nagios-plugins-icmp-2.2.1-17.20190829gitfb792ff.el6.i686

-sh-4.1$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_icmp google.com
OK - google.com rta 12.951ms lost 0%|rta=12.951ms;200.000;500.000;0; rtmax=13.093ms;;;; rtmin=12.883ms;;;; pl=0%;40;80;0;100 
-sh-4.1$

Comment 9 Stephen John Smoogen 2019-09-26 13:28:01 UTC
OK I think this might be something that upstream has decided is what they want. I don't have the ability to patch back to the old way of doing things. I am going to change this to CANTFIX and my apologies. I suggest that you open an issue with the upstream and see if they will give an option to go back to the old way.
