Perhaps I'm not following but I'm not aware of any such restriction. Nagios only really cares about the exit _code_ code of a plugin (1-4) and the text is for humans only. That text can be quite large. In nagios-2 it must all be on one line. There is a limit but it depends on how you're getting your results back to nagios but in all cases is much greater than 8 characters (i.e. ~500 at minimum I believe for passive checks). In nagios-3 it can be split across multiple lines (with documented caveats) with no limit I believe (but check the documentation). -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
