Is there a line length limitation for custom object vars?

[skol]

Hey guys, is there a line length limitation for custom macros in nagios XI and nagios core? i.e:

Code: Select all

define service {
        use                             template
        host_name                       hostname
        _interface_description          intdesc
        register                        1
}

For example if _interface_description was a combination of 100 keyword=value pairs.

Thanks!

Are there any end of lines in 'intdesc' or exclamation points?

No, it would look like this (except much, much longer). My previous example was not very good.

Code: Select all

define service {
        use                             template
        host_name                       hostname
        _service_fields                 -m oid=.1.3.6.1... -a 10.1.1.1 -c mycommunity something=yes description=some_desc hostname=myhostname field=value field=value field=value field=value field=value field=value field=value field=value field=value field=value field=value field=value 
        register                        1

I can ask one of our core devs tomorrow. Have you noticed truncation, or does it just fail?

I just wanted to make sure what I'm trying to do won't hit a limitation.

There does not appear to be a size restriction on this. If you can I would suggest sticking under the 1024 limit that is applied to most strings within nagios, but that doesn't really seem to be enforced in this case. (Note: not a dev, but did dig through the code, most importantly ./includes/objects.h that contains the customvariablemember scruct and the service struct.)

Thanks a bunch, I appreciate it!
