Hi, I've got a problem with the nrpe & the variable MAX_PACKETBUFFER_LENGTH in include/common.h. It limits the output to 1024 by default. nagios3 is by now out for a good while and is able to receive and display 4096 Bytes. NRPE is limiting this down to 1024 Bytes. OK, you may say: raise it. I did, but this did not work out as expected. If I raise this value only on the nrpe server, the nrpe plugin (check_nrpe) does not work anymore. If I raise this on the plugin only this does not work either. So the only solution would be to compile both nrpe server + plugin for all platforms and install it on all machines in one big rush. 1. The time for deployment would take some time of couse and in between I'd be blind - not good. 2. I'm using self compiled nrpe servers as well as several packages. This means everywhere, where I was using packages for low maintenance, I have to go out and compile it for all platforms - not any better either. Is there a way to get around this? Can you think of a bugfix/feature (whatever you like) that make nrpe plugin and nrpe server working together with different MAX_PACKETBUFFER_LENGTH's? Best Regards, Uwe
