RFC Possible bug in 3.0 alpha event handlers/macros ... [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Stanley.HOPCROFT at deewr.gov.au]

Dear Folks,

Initial indications from RC2 are that event handlers are called with the
_correct_ values of the macros.

(This is a simulation: ie disable host/service checks and then submit a
passive host check result to
DOWN and UP a host)

Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008 PASSIVE HOST CHECK: wtmrt200;1;Test of event
handler/macros - bad val of LASTHOSTDOWN
Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008 HOST ALERT: wtmrt200;DOWN;HARD;1;Test of event
handler/macros - bad val of LASTHOSTDOWN
Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008 GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
wtmrt200;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler
Tue Feb 12 07:49:43 2008 EXTERNAL COMMAND:
DISABLE_HOST_SVC_CHECKS;wtmrt200
Tue Feb 12 07:49:43 2008 EXTERNAL COMMAND: DISABLE_HOST_CHECK;wtmrt200
Tue Feb 12 08:05:41 2008 EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT;wtmrt200;0;Test of event handler/macros - bad
val of LASTHOSTDOWN|
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 PASSIVE HOST CHECK: wtmrt200;0;Test of event
handler/macros - bad val of LASTHOSTDOWN
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 HOST ALERT: wtmrt200;UP;HARD;1;Test of event
handler/macros - bad val of LASTHOSTDOWN
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
wtmrt200;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler

And from the event handler log (that appends its args to a file)

Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008 : wtmrt200 DOWN HARD 1202762761 1202762821 0 0.
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 : wtmrt200 UP HARD 1202763951 1202762821 0 0.

$ perl -le 'print join " ", map { scalar localtime($_) } qw(1202763951
1202762821)'
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008
$

First two time_t args in the call to the global event handler are
$LASTHOSTUP$ and $LASTHOSTDOWN$.

In this case these values of the arguments to the event handler
correspond to the times the host went
down and up, so on the basis of this test case, the values of the macros
are being passed correctly
to the event handler in Nagios 3.0 rc2.

Bravo Nagios !
