Checkmk Werk 13421: mk_sap: detect recursion in SAP data

ID: 13421 Title: mk_sap: detect recursion in SAP data Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.2.0i1 mk_sap.py handles a tree of SAP objects. The objects are annotated with the path from the root of the tree to the object. The objects returned by SAP contain a link to their parent object. SAP can be configured in a way that the object references itself as its parent. This can lead to a cryptic recursion error message: <code> Unhandled exception (maximum recursion depth exceeded) </code> After this werk a better error message will be shown including the object that is the root cause of the recursion error: <code> Could not calculate path, recursion limit reached. Reorganise your SAP data to get past this error. Element that causes this: ... </code> You will have to fix this problem within SAP.
