How to show multi-line of output using check_logfiles

[nshah11]

I am using the following versions:

Nagios Core 4.0.1
Nagios-plugins-1.5
NRPE-2.15
check_logfiles (plugin)-3.6.2.1


Thanks

When run via cli, how is the output displayed from this check?

Spenser,

I tried to run the command in the CLI of the monitored host and it works well. All the errors are being displayed on the screen.
So, basically it works fine on the CLI on the monitored host. But in the email notification some error lines are chopped out..

Thanks

Can you show us the notification command definition?

Sorry for delayed response. I think there is a limit on the amount of data that can be transferred by nrpe (about 1KB). If the data exceeds than the limit for a particular check then the data is chopped off..

The best that can be done is to use $options = 'report=long'; in the log monitoring configuration file.

Thanks

Another alternative is to use check_by_ssh as it does not have the 1KB limitation.

Great! I will try that out. Thanks Box293
