[SOLVED] NSCA Message size

Hi!

I was investigating a way to accommodate large service outputs and to send them via NSCA.

The only info I've found suggested to:
i) tamper with an include/objects.h file
ii) Alter MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH to a suitable value
iii)recompile and reinstall Nagios'

Is this the way to do it?

Because in my objects.h file (Nagios Core 3.5.1) there's not even a commented reference to this MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH

Thank you

P.S. this was my source: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 34&t=16674

Currently it may be the only way, and your mileage may vary depending on the platform.

OK,

I'll not tamper with this as I'm not comfortable with possible unintended outcome.

Thank you
