Hello, The issue is that if I define a nagios service where the service description is larger than 128 characters, everything seem to work properly except that running a script which sends a passive service check via send_nsca the service in the Nagius gui is not updated although the send_nsca says it was successfully sent. Looking in the nagios log, I see that the passive check is arrived but that the service description is chopped at 128 chars. I wonder if anyone fixed this problem already? It looks to me that following line in include/common.h causes the issue #define MAX_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH 128 I assume that I need to recompile nsca ( for the server ) and send_nsca ( for the client where I need to use a service description longer then 128). The problem is that as soon as I will use the new nsca binary on the server, I expect problems with all the servers which still are using the original send_ncsa. Anybody any idea's, suggestions or solutions. I am using the latest nsca and send_nsca 2.7.2 nsca is running on SUSE 10.2 send_nsca on different Unix and Linux falvours Thanks in advance, -- Groetjes, Paul
