NDO big perfdata bug?

[Jose Luis Martinez]

Hi,

	Currently I'm testing injecting big results into Nagios via a new 
program called nrd (Nagios Result Distributor) (I posted a while ago on 
this list, announcing it as nsca2).

	Currently I'm getting the results into Nagios fine, but ndo seems to 
have a bad time with big perfdata... The Nagios screens show all the 
perfdata correctly, but the results don't appear in the NDO db.

	I activate debugging in NDO, and never see an INSERT with lots of 
perfdata. I've tracked down the problem to the following:

  - the ndo.dat file seems to get the data messed up:

    - reading through the code, it looks like every entry in the ndo.dat 
would finish in 999 (NDO_API_ENDDATA)

    - the perfdata entry 99 (NDO_API_PERFDATA) for "206:" seems to have 
a mix of data in it (starts like result "213", until you get another 
NDO_API_PERFDATA section, and at the end of the line you get a 999 (with 
no "\n" before it).

    - I attach a test.dat file that is a capture of the ndo.dat file so 
you can examine it.

    - I attach the script that is causing this: check_big_perfdata.pl

I would expect to see the 500 perfdata entries that the big_perfdata 
check generates (as the Nagios status screens show them without problems)

Looking around in the code, to find a possible cause, I think I found a 
small bug in io.c, also
ndo_unescape_buffer:
    if (buffer[x+1]=='\t'){
i think should be
    if (buffer[x+1]=='t'){
but I think this is unrelated to the big perfdata problem.

Any thoughs on why NDO is "eating up" the perfdata?

Cheers,

Jose Luis Martinez
