Package: munin-node Version: 1.4.5-3 Severity: normal File: exim_mailstats
symptom: munin node returns nonsense values like these: # munin node at srv1.smtpcorp.com fetch exim_mailstats received.value DMK completed.value DOM rejected.value FBT when this is encountered a work-around is to edit the var/lib/munin/plugin-state/exim_mailstats-* files and replace the upper-case letters after line two with 0 eg: sed '3,$ s/[A-Z]*/0/' -i /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/exim_mailstats-* This causes it to begin outputting numbers, I don't know if the numbers are correct. exim has the follwing set. which may effect the log file content sufficiently to confuse the plugin: MAIN_LOG_SELECTOR=+smtp_confirmation -skip_delivery -retry_defer the bug could to be line 221: 221: $received = $completed = $rejected = 'U'; which could be changed to 221: $received = $completed = $rejected = '0'; or possibly these lines: 118: $received++; 121: $completed++; 124: $rejected++; which if changed to 118: $received+=1; 121: $completed+=1; 124: $rejected+=1; also results in sensible behaviour the problem seems to be the difference between ++ and +=1 jasen$ perl -e '$a='U' ; $a ++ ; print "$a\n";' V jasen$ perl -e '$a='U' ; $a +=1 ; print "$a\n";' 1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages munin-node depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii gawk 1:3.1.7.dfsg-5 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii libnet-server-perl 0.97-1 An extensible, general perl server ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii munin-common 1.4.5-3 network-wide graphing framework (c ii perl 5.10.1-17squeeze2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii procps 1:3.2.8-9 /proc file system utilities Versions of packages munin-node recommends: ii libnet-snmp-perl 5.2.0-4 Script SNMP connections Versions of packages munin-node suggests: ii acpi 1.5-2 displays information on ACPI devic pn ethtool <none> (no description available) pn hdparm <none> (no description available) pn libcache-cache-perl <none> (no description available) ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.57-2 Support for https protocol in LWP pn libdbd-mysql-perl <none> (no description available) pn libdbd-pg-perl <none> (no description available) pn liblwp-useragent-determ <none> (no description available) pn libnet-irc-perl <none> (no description available) ii libnet-ssleay-perl 1.36-1 Perl module for Secure Sockets Lay pn libtext-csv-xs-perl <none> (no description available) ii libwww-perl 5.836-1 Perl HTTP/WWW client/server librar ii libxml-simple-perl 2.18-3 Perl module for reading and writin pn logtail <none> (no description available) pn munin <none> (no description available) pn munin-java-plugins <none> (no description available) pn munin-plugins-extra <none> (no description available) pn mysql-client <none> (no description available) ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze6 interactive high-level object-orie pn ruby <none> (no description available) pn smartmontools <none> (no description available) -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
