Known issues

At the time of release, two known issues were reported that you should be aware of when running the probe.

VT100 escape codes

VT100 escape codes are sometimes inserted into the message stream by the terminal server. These must be stripped from the elements in the rules file.

Invalid host name causes glibc error

This issue only applies when the probe is installed on Linux® operating systems.

If an invalid host name is used, the gethostbyname_r lookup method fails and causes a segmentation fault in the GNU C library (glibc). This problem only occurs with version 2.1 of glibc. It does not occur with versions 2.0 or 2.2 of glibc.
