MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH

[Goetz Rieger]

Hi all,

I need a longer maximum plugin output length in Nagios 2.3.1 because I
have a custom plugin which could possibly return quite a lot of data.

In include/objects.h MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH is set to 332.

So I have two questions:

-Is that the correct define to alter the length of a plugin output read by
Nagios?

-Is there any drawback when setting the value rather high, say 1000?

Thanks in advance,
Goetz
