Nagios XI 2011R1.7
CENTOS 5.7 32 BIT
VMWARE Image
KDE desktop

I have a passive Windows service event log check (xiwizard_windowseventlog_service) in place that alerts me when the Domain Controller adds a new machine onto the network. It works great but much of the information is being cut off in the additional information area in the body of the email (only 255 characters display). Is it possible to allow for more than 255 characters for this check? I've looked around in the Nagios Eventlog and do not see any areas within here to up the setting.. Can you please point me in the right direction or link to more info if possible?
