Description

Zabbix Agent 2.0.2rc1 does not encode in UTF8 discovered network interface names. Agent is running on Windows XP 32bit SP3 Russian. Interface names are returned in CP1251 encoding. Created items contains "?" character instead of cyrillic symbols and its are in "unsupported" state. There are output of zabbix_get command below.

Comment by dimir [ 2012 Aug 08 ]

Successfully tested!

Comment by Alex Moskalenko [ 2012 Aug 08 ]

Maybe this issue is more complicated because Windows 2008 R2 x64 returns pIfRow.bDescr in OEM (CP866 in my case) encoding. Is there a universal solution that works on all actual Windows versions?

Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2012 Aug 08 ]

Whether there are Windows versions which return pIfRow.bDescr not in the OEM encoding?

Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2012 Aug 08 ]

Fixed in pre-2.0.3 r29472 and pre-2.1.0 r29473.

Comment by Alex Moskalenko [ 2012 Aug 08 ]

Windows XP 32Bit Rus returns pIfRow.bDescr in cp1251 encoding.
Windows 2008R2 Rus returns pIfRow.bDescr in CP866 encoding.

In Windows 2008R2 Rus+2.0.2 agent net.if.discovery returns cp866 in fact, and net.if.list returns unreadable string as result of conversion CP866-encoded string with zbx_acp_to_unicode, which expects ANSI string.

We tested it for Win XP RUS 32-bit with cp1251. Works as expected.

Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2012 Aug 08 ]

Ok, I reopen the issue.

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2012 Aug 08 ]

My last comment (in Russian) in a ~~ZBX-3944~~ could bring some light and confirm some difference between 2003/2008
Unfortunately that sub-issue was not closed on time

Comment by Alex Moskalenko [ 2012 Aug 09 ]

Let's me provide cleaner example about Windows 2008. There is output of zabbix_get from win2008 on Linux with UTF-8 locale:

First iconv (from utb8 to utf16le) undoes zbx_unicode_to_utf8. Second iconv (from utf16le to cp1251) undoes zbx_acp_to_unicode. After this we get original strings, as its returned by Windows. And, as you see, encoding is cp866. Third iconv (from cp866 to utf8) shows this.

On Windows XP Windows returns strings in 1251 encoding and zabbix_agent works as expected. In my opinion, we need to open another issue about Win2008 behavior.

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2013 Jan 16 ]

More and more people have problems with this.

Priority bumped to Critical.

Comment by Andris Zeila [ 2013 Jan 17 ]

After some digging I found the following post on java mailing list:

The patch simply converts to wide chars encoded in CP_OEMCP by calling
MultiByteToWideChar. We have confirmed a guy from Microsoft who said that

BEGIN QUOTE
I'm not sure how common it is to call the Java code that results in
calling the GetIfTable API but I would guess it does not happen that
often. Additionally, if it's rare that the adapter contains the accented
characters, it would definitely be quite easy to miss in testing.

I have not found any documentation about the encoding of the bDescr
string unfortunately. I did, however, debug through the API and located
the place where it is generated. It is getting converted from a UTF-16
string to a single-byte string using a conversion like this:

WideCharToMultiByte(
CP_OEMCP,
WC_NO_BEST_FIT_CHARS,
<source string>,
-1,
IfRow->bDescr,
<size>,
NULL,
NULL);

I have checked the source for Windows Vista, 2008, Windows 7, and
Windows 2008 R2. It is using CP_OEMCP in all of them. So using the
reverse conversion in your code using CP_OEMCP should be safe.
Alternatively, you can use the GetIfTable2 function
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365945^(v=vs.85).aspx
which returns the same information in the original UTF-16 encoding.
END QUOTE

Unfortunately he did not confirm if Windows XP is using CP_ACP. However
it does seem our problem.

But the GetIfTable2 function is supported only in Windows Vista+,
Windows Server 2008+, so the only thing we can do is to check for windows
version and explicitly use CP_OEMCP conversion for IfRow->bDescr field.

Comment by Andris Zeila [ 2013 Jan 17 ]

Created preliminary fix at svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-5358

I can't currently test it as we don't have required environment
(Russian Vista/Server 2008), but at least it does not break the
network interface names on English Sever 2008 and Russian Windows XP.

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2013 Jan 18 ]

I compiled agent from the dev branch. Compilation platform: WinXP x32, VS10.

Tested platform is Server R2 x64 RUS:

So my conclusion - the fix in the dev branch didn't help.
Note - I'm not sure I did all correctly, I will try tomorrow the patch attached to this issue.

I can confirm that it did NOT break (as Andris said above) the network interface names on Russian Windows XP.

Comment by Andris Zeila [ 2013 Jan 18 ]

Could you please try the attached agent? It's built on 2.0 branch with the encoding fixes patched in.

zalex_ua I've just tried it, didn't help. All the same.

wiper Thanks, will try to find windows vista rus or something for debugging to see what's happening.

So apparently the problem still persists on Win 2008 Server Rus x64 while working properly on 32bit. Interesting.

Comment by Alex Moskalenko [ 2013 Jan 18 ]

It is 32bit agent on 64bit Windows. Can you provide compiled 64-bit agent? I will test it too on same server.

Comment by Andris Zeila [ 2013 Jan 21 ]

x64 version attached.

I tested both on Win 7 x64 Rus (that was the closest thing I could get) and it worked fine.

Comment by Alex Moskalenko [ 2013 Jan 21 ]

Attached x86_64 agent is working correctly on Win2008 R2 Rus X86_64.

Comment by Andris Zeila [ 2013 Jan 21 ]

Great, thanks!
I'm marking it as resolved then.

Fixed in development branch
svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-5358

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2013 Jan 21 ]

Heh, there is something interesting.
I've just tested the latest Andris' agent x64 - it doesn't work on the same Server2008 host which I'm using for all my test. Results are the same.
For this host:

# zabbix_get -s 10.20.0.62 -k system.uname
Windows WIN-SERV2008-I6 6.1.7600 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition x64

But I've just tried they all (my own compiled x32, and both Andris' (x32, x64)) on another Windows 7 x64 host !
The all work fine !

# zabbix_get -s 10.20.1.16 -k system.uname
Windows ULTRAI7 6.1.7601 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 x64

Only now I noticed that there is "Service Pack 1" for my Win7 host and for Alex's as well.
Maybe this can be a reason ?

Probably I'll try to install SP1 on that Server2008 host to check is there any difference.

Btw, to test zabbix_agentd without starting as a service there is an approach:

open CMD, run "chcp 65001", open CMD's window properties and select a "Lucida Console" font on Font tab, press ok, execute "zabbix_agentd -t net.if.list"

In currently tested agents you should see correct Cyrillic !

Woohooo, IT WORKS !

I've just installed SP1 over the Server2008 host (x64) and it solved the problem.

Comment by Oleksii Zagorskyi [ 2013 Jan 21 ]

(1) Documentation

The detail about required SP1 (KB976932) for Server 2008/Windows 7 should be somehow added to documentation.

I'm not sure that SP1 is 100% required, but at least this confirmed for one host.

Actually need to bee crazy to still not have SP1 installed, in production
My testing virtual host was just for testing

wiper Windows update requirement mentioned in:

RESOLVED, please review.

asaveljevs In all of the pages above, changed "2008 server" to "for example, Server 2008", and also added these notes to:

Please take a look. RESOLVED.
