cactid with multiple output fields

[mdw162]

I just switched from cmd.php to cactid and everything works great except for the one custom script with multiple output fields. In cmd.php the script output format was just field1:value1 field2:value2 field3:value3 ....

Has that output format changed in cactid?

Okay, I don't think this has anything to do with the number of fields. For some reason I have one poller item that simply never runs with cactid. All of my other poller items run fine under cactid, and this one runs fine under cmd.php.

I checked the poller cache and the script in question is listed. Refreshed the cache, same result.

Makes no sense to me.

Figured it out. I think it's a bug in cactid.

Cactid doesn't seem to poll any data sources unless they have an associated host. Cmd.php did not have that limitation.

I'm still having a problem with this.

It seems to be a combination of both issues described above. I can get all of my data queries to run by associating them all with active hosts, but cactid seems to have a problem with multiple output fields.

It returns the correct results from cmd.php and the command line fine, but cactid seems to interpret multiple output fields as "U," unknown. Has anyone else seen this?

I am working on a patch. This is a feature currently not supported with Cactid. Give me a little time. GNU you know.

Great! It's just nice to know I'm not doing something wrong and that it's a known issue or simply unsupported.

Thanks!
