Subject: [Nagios-users] Increase output from nagios alert e-mails/pages?


I am using the latest version of Nagios. I am doing most of my checks  
using NRPE and I noticed that when it e-mails or pages me about an  
alert some of the information from the error appears to be getting cut  
off, is there a way to make it so that it e-mails me the entire  
message and not to have it cut off some of the text? I am not sure if  
there is a limit in Nagios on the error that nagios can handle?

Any information would be appreciated.

Email alerts are just another command in the commands.cfg file.  By
default it uses the 'mail' program, and pipes in the body.  For certain
alerts, we have written a perl script that uses Net::SMTP to send much
nicer and more detailed messages.

That's the beauty of Nagios...  almost everything can be replaced or
modified like that.
