Problem with encryption

Francesco Dalan — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 09:12:06 -0000

Using simple XOR encryption, the server reports this error "Received invalid packet type/version from client - possibly due to client using wrong password or crypto algorithm?".

This is due to the encryption_method variable in NagiosAppender class: i.e. if I use the configuration file to sets the encryption_method parameter, when the send_nsca(String, int) method have been invoked, it use the global encryption_method variable, but nobody's sets it.

To resolve it,
- adds the getEncryption_method getter in Nsca class
- in setConfigFile(String) method, after nagiosClient.setConfigFile(value), adds encryption_method = nagiosClient.getEncryption_method()

Socket timeout required

Aaron Wodrich — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:45:16 -0000

There were some firewall / network issues resulting in our module hanging when trying to send messages to the Nagios server. To prevent any future network issues from impacting our module, a socket timeout value added to the code and applied to the new socket. .

Need to refactor failed connection attempts

Jar Lyons — Mon, 01 Aug 2005 16:33:17 -0000

Need to determine the most appropriate behavior for a
failed socket connection attempt ... instead of the
current model, which catches all exceptions.

This is a classic error handler situation? Or worst
case a LogLog- like message. (great for new people
using the appender when they dumb like me and have
something local preventing the connection).I'll have
more feedback once we've configured Nagios locally and
can feed events to it.cheers,Paul Smith
