possible bug with combostatus when hostnames start with numbers?
I have some devices with names like "01-0042-dc2-c2-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au".
With a combo.cfg entry like this: prndc2.nexus.comboalert.fping = ( 01\-0042\-dc2\-c2\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping && 01\-0042\-dc2\-d8\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping ) >=1
The resulting test produces output like so: (01\-0042\-dc2\-c2\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping&&01\-0042\-dc2\-d8\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping)>=1 = (01\-0042\-1&&01\-0042\-1)>=1 = 0 clear dc2-c2-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping clear dc2-d8-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping
Errors occurred during evaluation:
compute((01\-0042\-1&&01\-0042\-1)>=1) returned error 4It looks like it is having a problem with those names for some reason, truncating the name in the first part of the result "dc2-c2-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au" instead of "01-0042-dc2-c2-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au" and then compute bit having just "01\-0042\-1"?
Whereas simply prefixing the letter "a" to the hostname entries like so "a01-0042-dc2-c2-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au" : prndc2.nexus.comboalert.fping = ( a01\-0042\-dc2\-c2\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping && a01\-0042\-dc2\-d8\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping ) >=1
Produces the expected output: (a01\-0042\-dc2\-c2\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping&&a01\-0042\-dc2\-d8\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping)>=1 = (1&&1)>=1 = 1 green a01-0042-dc2-c2-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping green a01-0042-dc2-d8-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping
Any ideas? It looks like a bug to me.

Hi,
I believe I've found the issue here. Can you send me a run of this (with and without the prefixed alphabetic character) with --debug enabled?

Hmm, a direct email to you seems to have been delayed with a "451 SPF lookup failure" negotiating with mail.kkytbs.net?
So, I'll send to the list, not sure if these attachments will make it through:
For combo.debug.broken:
group-compress Nexus test 0.0.0.0 prndc2.nexus.comboalert # noconn DESCR:"alias:Test of ping to both PRN DC2 Nexus switches" 172.16.162.xx 01-0042-dc2-c2-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au # testip 172.16.162.xy 01-0042-dc2-c2-ag02.netman.uq.edu.au # testip
And
prndc2.nexus.comboalert.fping = ( 01\-0042\-dc2\-c2\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping && 01\-0042\-dc2\-c2\-ag02.netman.uq.edu.au.fping ) >=1
For combo.debug.ok:
group-compress Nexus test 0.0.0.0 prndc2.nexus.comboalert # noconn DESCR:"alias:Test of ping to both PRN DC2 Nexus switches" 172.16.162.xx a01-0042-dc2-c2-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au # testip 172.16.162.xy a01-0042-dc2-c2-ag02.netman.uq.edu.au # testip
And
prndc2.nexus.comboalert.fping = ( a01\-0042\-dc2\-c2\-ag01.netman.uq.edu.au.fping && a01\-0042\-dc2\-c2\-ag02.netman.uq.edu.au.fping ) >=1
Thanks for investigating.
