max plugin output length

Mathew- 
	not to skirt the real issue, but I've always found that you want
to use the right tool for the job. Nagios is a great tool but it's
primarily a threshold alerter, and not a grapher. Use MRTG/Cricket to
track disk usage, they work better at it.


...then again it's just an opinion...

Subject: [Nagios-users] max plugin output length


Hi all,

I have been using Nagios for a few months now, and love it.  I've 
recently started to graph the disk usage, but have run into a problem 
with my check_disk perfdata being truncated.

A quick search through the archives yields some posts which mention 
MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH being limited to 352 bytes, however these posts 
were from 2002 so I wonder if things have changed since then? 

Is this still an issue?  Should I increase this buffer and recompile 
nagios, or is there a better way to solve this problem?  Any information

would be appreciated.  (FYI - I'm using nagios 2.0b4 on Solaris 8.)

Thanks in advance,

-- mat
