If you cannot upgrade your clients, then you can recompile the nsca binary with MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH set back to 512. That should let you use the checkresult directory feature, without breaking compatibility with older clients.<br> <br> I'll take another look at the source and see if any options jump out at me, but I don't know how much effort I should put into it - I think Andreas is actively working on a Better Solution.<br> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Mike Lindsey</pre> </body> </html>
