Nagios chops error text after ~430 chars

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

Roy, you might want to consider using a non-Nagios solution for munging logfiles, especially if you're using a centralized loghost.  This is an approach which is on my To Do list.

I've heard of a few recommendations (I think it was on the nagios-users list) and have saved those messages.  Actually, they're probably buried among the many other messages from these lists that I save ;) but if you'd like me to dig them out, I'll give it a whirl and summarize here.
