 Description   

templated web monitoring was implemented for 2.2, but error messages were not changed to identify host - it is now really hard to find which scenario is causing the messages. all messages should include host name, but a couple of examples :

774:20130508:100927.390 web scenario step "Local web scenario:" error: error doing curl_easy_perform: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
774:20130508:100927.408 web scenario step "b:b" error: error doing curl_easy_perform: Couldn't resolve host name

How about (first example - scenario fail, second - step fail):

  • cannot process web scenario "My scenario" on host "Zabbix server": URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
  • cannot process step "Second page" of web scenario "My scenario" on host "Zabbix server": Couldn't resolve host name

?

The error message will be generated in the log file for every processing of the scenario. Is that OK or this message better appear only the first time?

<richlv> i believe that's how it is done currently, too, right ?
if so, i'd probably leave it that way. it spams the logfile, but doing otherwise would make it much harder to spot issues

dimir Ye, that's current behavior, leaving it as it is then.

(1) whatsnew

so the new messages look like this :

cannot process step "b" of web scenario "b" on host "screenhost": Couldn't resolve host name
cannot process step "" of web scenario "Local web scenario" on host "Web server 1": URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
cannot process step "statuscode" of web scenario "statuscode test" on host "A Test host": Couldn't connect to server

added at https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/introduction/whatsnew220#improved_error_logging
RESOLVED

dimir Wait, how did you get that empty step?

<richlv> mnoovk sebagraq

dimir I beg your pardon?!?!?!!?!!?!!!/!?!?!?1//1!?11//1/1?1??!?!??

dimir So, it looks like at this point it's not possible to have a step with empty name but it was possible before. So you might end up with message nr. 2 above.

As for docs, looks great, thanks! CLOSED
