Fwd: NSCA MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH

[Ben O'Hara]

Ok,
   So looking into this it appears that the limit is actually in
nagios deinfined in includes/common.h as 348.

Obivously with more data being presented in the output, including
perdata this is rather small.  Im having issues with getting perfdata
for a "DISK" check that checks all filesystems so the output ends up
being rather large.

Anybody see any reason not to raise this to a higher value? 2048? and
also change it for NRPE?

Does this effect other people? Should it be made as a generic change to nagios?

Regards

Ben

Hi Ethan,

We've been using Nagios + NSCA for a while now, great product! Cheers!

However, ive started working on setting up Performance data graphing.
As we use distributed monitoring we use nsca to send the results back
to the master nagios box.

This works great, however i noticed some checks performance data was
being truncated, i tracked this down to nsca and the
MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH variable in common/common.h which was set to
512, ive upped it to 1024 to take into account perdata aswell.

I though this would of fixed the problem, however the output is still
being truncated!

Any ideas on this?

Cheers

Ben
