Hi @derEdu,

I will consider adding your tip about basic authentication. 

About the recursion into JSON structure, it should be working since last November release. Can you show the complete output you get with --debug option?

Hi @omercier!

regarding the recursion: unfortunately, it doesn’t. I have the recent Centreon release (24.04) and also tested it with the recent centreon-plugins from Github. I’ll send you a complete output in PM, but for the public: here are the http tables (the run is from a different SCC, but the original one looks the same):

======> variables
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i2].displayName = SAP Analytics Cloud
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i2].tunnel.state = Connected
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i2].subaccount = 8a176e16-55a0-4683-9435-daf61a197589
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i2].tunnel.subaccountCertificate.notAfterTimeStamp =
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i2].regionHost = cf.eu10.hana.ondemand.com
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i3].subaccount = i6frso7ll9
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i3].tunnel.subaccountCertificate.notAfterTimeStamp =
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i3].regionHost = hana.ondemand.com
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i3].displayName = STE ADS
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i3].tunnel.state = Connected
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i1].tunnel.subaccountCertificate.notAfterTimeStamp =
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i1].subaccount = 79797d7f-f74c-4791-99ad-74a7af8edb3c
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i1].regionHost = cf.eu10.hana.ondemand.com
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i1].displayName = Cloud Identity Management
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i1].tunnel.state = Connected
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i0].tunnel.state = Connected
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i0].displayName = Datasphere
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i0].regionHost = cf.eu10.hana.ondemand.com
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i0].tunnel.subaccountCertificate.notAfterTimeStamp =
    http.tables.subaccountReqEntries.i0].subaccount = 35ee546b-dc1c-45e3-b1f3-4ba855cb6953

as you see, ‘notAfterTimStamp” variables are empty. I think the relevant code is here in collection.pm, sub parse_structure:

            if ($ref eq 'HASH') {

                if (!defined($value->{ $_->{id} })) {
                    # Check and assume in case of hash reference first part is the hash ref and second the hash key
                    if($_->{id} =~ /^(.+?)\.(.*)$/){
                        if (!defined($value->{$1}->{$2})) {
                            $entry->{ $_->{id} } = '';
                            next;
                        }else{
                            $entry->{ $_->{id} } = $value->{$1}->{$2};
                        }
                    }else {
                        $entry->{ $_->{id} } = '';
                        next;
                    }

The first group of your regex is non-greedy so it will grab only the portion before the first ‘.’, resulting in “tunnel’ in my case.  Thus, $value{$1}->{$2} is not defined.

Update: I was right with my assumption and I suggest the following patch:

1) added a recursive sub

sub traverse_hash {
    my ($self, $search, $data) = @_;
    if ($search !~ /\./) {
        #last run or found nothing
        if (defined ($data->{$search})){
                   return $data->{$search};
           }else{
                   return "";
        }
    }
    my $key="";
    my @parts=s];
    my $ref="";
    @parts=split(/\./, $search);
    $key=shift(@parts);
    $ref=ref($data->{$key});
    if ($ref eq "HASH") {
        #need to go deeper
        return $self->traverse_hash(join(".", @parts), $data->{$key});
    }else{
        #whoa, strange things happen here
        return "";
    }

}

2 ) changed the code mentioned in my previous post

            if ($ref eq 'HASH') {
                if (!defined($value->{ $_->{id} })) {
                    if($_->{id} =~ /\./){
                        $entry->{ $_->{id} }=$self->traverse_hash($_->{id}, $value);
                    }else {
                        $entry->{ $_->{id} } = '';
                        next;
                   }

 It works so far, but I’m a perl aprentice, not a perl magician like yourself. Don’t judge me too much and please take it into review. 

Update: After a few more tests, I filed a bug on Github. Can be found here: https://github.com/centreon/centreon-plugins/issues/5118

Thanks @derEdu!

We’ll examine it carefully, although due to the summer break it will probably wait a little…

Believe me I’m just an old beginner 

No harsh judgement!
