[Nagiosplug-devel] Plugin results not displaying correctly in nagios

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:
 
Got Nagios 3.0.3 running on RHEL5.5
 
I made a shell script to dynamically look for and check the IF traffic
rate. 
It is looking for /^bond/ || /^eth/ out of the netstat -i output
 
There are 3 interfaces, bond0, eth0 & eth1
>From command line, all 3 IFs are displayed correctly, each IF on is own
line with the performance data displayed correctly as well.
Here is the output from the command line.
    [root at denlraptor libexec]# ./check_iftraf 
    bond0 receive=26676/min transmit=26100/min|bond0 26676;;;; 26100;;;;

    eth0 receive=26664/min transmit=26100/min|eth0 26664;;;; 26100;;;; 
    eth1 receive=12/min transmit=0/min|eth1 12;;;; 0;;;; 

The 'Services' nagios screen only displays one line, bond0 - which is
fine. Keep it short and I like that.
 
When I drill into the service, the display gets out of whack.
Example; The 'Status Information' will display the bond0 results and the
eth0 results but no eth1 results. The 'Performance Data' will display
the perf data for bond0 & eth0 then mix in the eth1 results and then
display the eth1 perf data.
 
If I omit the perf data, the results are displayed correctly. Here is
sample output from nagios;

    Status Information:    bond0 receive=276/min transmit=132/min
                                    eth0 receive=264/min
transmit=132/min
                                    eth1 receive=12/min transmit=0/min
    Performance Data:
 
 
If I include perf data, I get the following output in nagios;
 
    Status Information:    bond0 receive=276/min transmit=132/min
                                    eth0 receive=264/min
transmit=132/min
    Performance Data:    bond0 276;;;; 132;;;; eth0 264;;;; 132;;;; eth1
receive=12/min transmit=0/min|eth1 12;;;; 0;;;;
 
    In the Perf Data are the results for eth1, which should be on the
Status line.
        The eth1 receive=12/min transmit=0/min should not be on the
Performance Data line. It should be on the Status line but instead it is
mixed into the perf data.
 
Here is the echo line from the script.
    echo  "${int[$j]} receive=$RXOK/min transmit=$TXOK/min|${int[$j]}
$RXOK;;;; $TXOK;;;; "

Seems like I have too many characters. So how do I 'shift' to have the
correct display?
I am wanting to collect the perf data for all IFs and graph them. But
with the 'Status' & 'Performance' displays out of whack ...
 
 
Many thanks!
