[Nagiosplug-devel] Re: [Perfparse-users] zero values in database

[Ben Clewett]

Jessica,

These are known bugs in the plugins which are causing lots of users 
problems.

I can suggest two solutions.

1.  Recompile the plugins using:

./configure --disable-nls

I have not tested this, but I believe this should work.

2. After the 'textdomain' call at the start of the plugin source code, 
add the line:

setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "POSIX");

Eg, with your problem plugin check_load.  Edit plugins/check_load.c:

-------------------check_load.c-------------------

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
         int result = STATE_UNKNOWN;

#if HAVE_GETLOADAVG==1
         double la[3] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 };       /* NetBSD complains 
about unitialized arrays */
#else
# if HAVE_PROC_LOADAVG==1
         FILE *fp;
         char input_buffer[MAX_INPUT_BUFFER];
         char *tmp_ptr;
# else
         char input_buffer[MAX_INPUT_BUFFER];
# endif
#endif

         float la1, la5, la15;

         setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
         bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
         textdomain (PACKAGE);

	setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "POSIX");			<--- HERE!!

-------------------check_load.c-------------------

This should sort out your problems.  Please let us know.

Regards,

Ben.
