I haven't looked at NRDP much more than you have but it sounds like it=20
would be a fix to many of NSCA's short comings. The problem for us is=20
the chore of switching everything over in one shot.=20

We don't do=20
that much passively so the check results queue feature is actually an=20
extra bonus for us in the upgrade. We are actually more interested in=20
the longer output. If there is an easy way to make this more compatible=20
for with older versions than great. If not we can plan a large upgrade=20
of everything or a cut over to NRDP. We just have a problem now and were
looking for a quick solution without breaking already existing stuff.=20

I wanted to use Mike Lindsey's new features in nsca-2.9 but
found that clients on 2.7.2 were not able to communicate after
updating the server. I found this on the Nagios bug tracker:

From what I'm reading it's not possible to have a client and
server compiled with different MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH. Has this
been fixed at all and I'm just not finding it? =20

As far as I'm aware=2C there's no easy fix for this. If you cannot
upgrade your clients=2C then you can recompile the nsca binary with
MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH set back to 512. That should let you use
the checkresult directory feature=2C without breaking compatibility
with older clients.

=20

I'll take another look at the source and see if any options jump out
at me=2C but I don't know how much effort I should put into it - I
think Andreas is actively working on a Better Solution.
