I’ve created some nagios monitors, but I want to put the specific URL for the http monitor I’ve set up. These are long URL’s like:http://localhost:9102/monitor.faces?system=mqMainFrame&test=D146MQ01 ”
However, when I put this in the Service Comments section of the monitor, the comments get posted without the ampersand. Like this:http://localhost:9102/monitor.faces?system=mqMainFrametest=D146MQ01 ”
Why does the service comments section remove the & character from the comment posting?
Running nagios 1.3.

try using a backslash in front of the & (ie: &)

yeah, i tried that all ready. doesn’t make a difference.
for what it’s worth, i found the answer. cgiutils.c strips pipes, ampersands and semicolons from the comment buffer. there’s no way around this, short of changing the source and recompiling. i wonder if this invalidates the service contract?
my bad, it’s actuall in getcgi.c in the#31 ).

It’s open source, so you can do whatever you want with it I suppose.
