On-demand service macros in Nagios 3.0b7: Hit by a bug related to an empty host name field?

[David Knecht]

Hi all,

I think I am probably struggling with a bug of Nagios 3.0b7:

According to

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macros.html

"On-demand service macros can contain an empty host name field. In this 
case the name of the host associated with the service will automatically 
be used."

This works well in my environment...

define service {
     ...
         host_name                       testhost
     ...
         check_command ...$SERVICESTATEID:testhost:[10] Mobile IP Tunnel 
Status$...

--> Result of the on-demand service macro processing: "0"

...while this does not:

define service {
     ...
         host_name                       testhost
     ...
         check_command                   ...$SERVICESTATEID::[10] Mobile 
IP Tunnel Status$...

--> Result of the on-demand service macro processing: "::[10] Mobile IP 
Tunnel Status$" ==> The on-demand service macro does not get processed 
correctly!

Can anybody confirm that this is a bug? In case a configuration error 
might be causing this: Please advise!

Thanks, David
