nagios returns bad XML

[cklayus]

I am using a custom plugin to monitor automatic services on windows servers. i use passive checks.
the plugin works fine in most cases, but some servers stop transmitting data after using the plugin i checked their specific log an notices that when thei transmit all of the checks the get a "bad xml" reply from the nagios server.

Is it possible for you to show the content of the XML you are sending to NRDP from the remote system? it could be that the output may contain chars that need to be escaped for XML

I have added the log file where you can see the error message

and also added the only xml file i've got in nagios. but i dont think its related

I think Scott was asking for the XML data that you are sending in your NRDP message. Looking at your log it does appear that some messages are making it just fine, which makes me think it is your plugin output.

Ok how to i see the xml content of what is sent to the nagios?

what could be wrong with the out put of the plugin? it does work on some servers. maybe the length?

[abrist]

The debug log includes the xml returned in checks. What is the hostname and service name of one of the non-working checks?

I have found that the nagios doesnt like some chars like & and other languages like hebrew, the issue is resolved for now. i am opening another about the language thing
