Host and service discovery error no closing quotation

3c2c2ff5 · April 8, 2021, 2:48pm

Hi,

I have a new issue when I try to inventorise a host over WATO and then Save & go to service configuration I got the following error. It happens randomly, WATO service discovery for other hosts monitored by the same slave works. Any idea?

Got invalid data:
Internal automation error: Error running automation call try-inventory (exit code 2), error: 
No closing quotation

This looks to be related with the new agent 2.0.0p1, after downgrading to 1.6.0p22-1 it works again. This could be a bug

Then it would be good if you can test the service discovery from the command line.
Automation errors most times are only the result of another error or problem.

It looks like a problem with the “local” section of your agent output.
Can you check this or remove the local checks from this machine for a test.

3c2c2ff5 · April 9, 2021, 6:35am

indeed Andreas, now it works. Now I need to know which local check is causing this mess.

Thank you very much
