You got it! Most languages intended for real string processing will do that straight away, bash not so much. Oh yeah! That works for me, thanks 8-) Didnt know this about bash and the -e option. Now I wonder how its possible that it was formatted ok before. Why did the behaviour change by the Nagios...

This is really getting interesting: your perl-script works ! But most of my scripts are written for bash and they don't. The output is ok if I do separate echo's like: echo "OK - ${UITVOER}|${UITVOERPERF}" echo "<pre>" echo "This is line 1." echo "This is line 2.&q...

I saw the fix as well. It has been fixed in 4.0.7 and I am using 4.0.8 (checked it again). => Summary: Nagios 4.0.5 no longer honors \n as a separator for summary and detail data for passive checks => reported on 22-05-2014 by .... jwelch And yes, we use a lot of self written checks/plugins that use...

@jwelch and tgriep: The problem occurs with every check, not just one. And it shows in all the NagiosXI-screens. See the attachment for screen prints of the problem. There you can see how the "\n" is not being used as a new line sequence anymore. Btw: I did not change anything in the confi...

The tests I performed just now, give me the total (long) outputstring!
I musted have been fooled by the truncation of the UI.
Maybe in combination with an error in the source of the plugin...

Thanks for helping me,

You're right about the UI, it cuts the outputstring. But if I perform the check at the prompt of the Nagios-server, it is also truncated. Could it be a setting of the CentOs-server? Or the length of a variable in the plugin-scripts? (I've tested check_oracle and my own script checking the bandwidth ...

Hi, we are using Nagios XI 2011R2.4 and NagVis. We have a lot of plugins active, performing checks on a lot of hosts and everything seems to be working fine. Except:.... when the return-string with perfdata contains more than 300 characters, it gets truncated !! Does anybody know why this happens? T...
