Sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (C.utf8): No such file or directory

Hi CheckMK’ers

Hope you are well. We use a few mrpe checks on some of our VM’s. But they have stopped working.

This is on Centos 7, latest.

We get the following error:

(check_cassandra_nodes.pl) cassandra_nodes 3 sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (C.utf8): No such file or directoryUNKNOWN: unrecognized output '/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (C.utf8): No such file or directory', nodetool output format may have changed, aborting, Please try latest version from https://github.com/harisekhon/nagios-plugins, re-run on command line with -vvv and if problem persists paste full output from -vvv mode in to a ticket requesting a fix/update at https://github.com/harisekhon/nagios-plugins/issues/new

So the issue seem to be this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1590680

/usr/bin/check_mk_agent unset the locales and try to set C.utf8, but that does not exsist anymore.

[root@somehost ~]# localectl list-locales | grep -i c.utf

es_EC.utf8

Any workaround for this?

Regards

Narra

Hey Narra,
well… It seems, that your Configuration on “ssh_config” and “sshd_config” is not correctly th send and receive all the LC_Locality…
I do that in this way (ssh_config): SendEnv LANG LC_*
(sshd_config): AcceptEnv LANG LC_*

AND!!! Please check your “locale.gen” under /etc if it the same on all computers, that you need /want.
I hope, this is helpful for you and please be free and ask again, if there any questions…
