Hi,

Does anyone know what could cause this error and how to fix it ? Thanks

nrpe[57590]: ERROR: my_system() write(fd, buffer)-2 failed...

I've NRPE client and NRPE plugin at 4.0.3

With "debug" on, it seems it maybe related to the packet/payload size. I isolated this to a specific command output which provide over 6K DB records.

As per documentation, the packet size in v3/v4 is a variable up to 64K. Does this mean the command output is likely higher than 64K in size and that's why I see this error?

Thanks
