Package: monitoring-plugins-basic
Version: 2.2-3
Severity: normal
Hello,
I want to monitor a host called www.xn--kleine-knig-yfb.de (or
www.kleine-könig.de). Both ways to write this hostname are incompatible with
check_ping:
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H www.xn--kleine-knig-yfb.de -w
5,5% -c 10,10% -vvv
CMD: /bin/ping6 -n -U -w 10 -c 5 www.xn--kleine-knig-yfb.de
Got stderr: ping: www.xn--kleine-knig-yfb.de: Parameter string not
correctly encoded
/bin/ping6 -n -U -w 10 -c 5 www.xn--kleine-knig-yfb.de
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H www.kleine-könig.de -w 5,5% -c
10,10% -vvv
check_ping: Invalid hostname/address - www.kleine-könig.de
Usage:
check_ping -H <host_address> -w <wrta>,<wpl>% -c <crta>,<cpl>%
[-p packets] [-t timeout] [-4|-6]
"funny" enough, ping6 supports both variants:
$ /bin/ping6 -n -U -w 10 -c 5 www.xn--kleine-knig-yfb.de
