[op5-users] re Merlin not importing all data from objects.conf

[Michael Hobbs]

HI Andreas

I've been testing this all morning and can see the same behaviour in the
newest version of Merlin/Ninja

Testing involves me creating new hosts, adding and removing service checks,
removing hosts

In each case I've been restarting nagios via a script I use which does this

<snip>
#!/bin/bash 
/etc/init.d/nagios reload 
# import to merlin 
php /usr/local/nagios/etc/addons/merlin/import.php
--cache=/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache
</snip>

Output of the script is
<snip>
Running configuration check...done. 
Reloading nagios configuration...done 
Importing objects to database merlin 
importing objects from /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache
</snip>

I've also got this line in /usr/local/nagios/etc/addons/merlin/merlin.conf 
import_program =php /usr/local/nagios/etc/addons/merlin/import.php
--cache=/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache

if I restart nagios via /etc/init.d/nagios reload or stop /start it just
returns

Running configuration check...done. 
Reloading nagios configuration...done

So far Ninja or Merlin hasn't picked up any of the changes.

Once you have the new version ready I'll upgrade merlin and test again

Cheers

Mike

Aight. Although I think I've found one issue with Merlin right now; It
doesn't re-open stdout and stderr, so nodes can, potentially, get output
directed to either of those sent to them, which would disrupt things
quite a lot, I imagine.

I'll patch this right away and have the fix pushed in half an hour or so.

Thanks all who're helping out with testing. I really appreciate it.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
