Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
i believe this is a bug, anyway, maybe there is an idea for an workaround or an hint on what i am doing wrong:
Following problem:
if i write the output of an service- plugin to nagios.cmd, the output is not spitted into the two parts: SERVICEOUTPUT and LONGSERVICEOUTPUT.
The same plugin working as active check shows the output as expected.

Attached you'll see the screenshot of an example.
- the output 1. line is the active_check result
- the 2. line came from passive check

Thanks for every idea.

Can you show us the active and passive service check command definitions?

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Unfortunaly i saw it right now.
I wrote a short test script to show you whats wrong. (see below)

In the attached picture you'll find the output.
There you see, that while active check puts the 2++ lines into the long output, the passive check puts all them together.

Any ideas ?
Thanks
Holger
