FW: SIGSEGV in Nagios 2.0a1 under S/390 SUSE

[Dan Goggiano]

Posted this to the users group...figured the development list would be
helpful now.  Also, have reconfigured nagios.conf to use performance
data...now the process stays running, so it appears (from the stack as
well) that perfdata configuration is causing the problem-  

 

So I did some research.  It turns out that process_performance_data can
be set to 0 and everything still works, in fact all of the remaining
options for performance data can be commented except:

service_perfdata_file=/tmp/service-perfdata

 

If that definition does not exist, a SEGV gets generates...so I am
officially request a bug fix :-)  In any case, I am happy, my process
runs as long as I define the file.

 

 

I have applied the patch : 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.devel/1108 and still have
the same problem.

 

I've searched the threads and followed all of the advice I could find on
this issue.  I am getting an SEGV while trying to start the nagios
process.  I am running SUSE Linux 8 for Z/OS (Z900 Mainframe).

 

I've attached a gzip with the full trace, but unfortunately, I do not
have enough knowledge to debug.  I'd appreciate any suggestions!  I've
already looked at permissions issues and started over with the base
configurations.  I have compiled with DEBUGALL and am not using the
embedded Perl stuff.
