Description Joseph Mulloy 2015-06-11 00:24:51 UTC

I tried to setup nagios with puppet and it fails to enable the service because when puppet runs '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios rcvar' it gets the following output.

# nagios
#
nagios_enable=""
#   (default: "")

This is the error I get from puppet
Error: /Stage[main]/Nagios_server/Service[nagios]: Could not evaluate: rcvar value is empty

This issue is caused by the nagios rc script not setting a default value for nagios_enable. It should do this, but perhaps the rc system should detect this condition and print NO if the service won't start so that things like Puppet get a sensible response.

How did you manage to get an empty value ?

With it not being set:

# service nagios rcvar
# nagios
#
nagios_enable="NO"
#   (default: "")

With it being set to yes:

# service nagios rcvar
# nagios
#
nagios_enable="yes"
#   (default: "")
