Perfdata maximum length?

Hi,
we are using Nagios XI 2011R2.4 and NagVis.
We have a lot of plugins active, performing checks on a lot of hosts and everything seems to be working fine. Except:....
when the return-string with perfdata contains more than 300 characters, it gets truncated !!
Does anybody know why this happens?
Thnx in advance,
Ton

My guess is that it's only getting truncated in the UI unless it's longer than 8k. Where are you seeing the truncated data?

You're right about the UI, it cuts the outputstring.
But if I perform the check at the prompt of the Nagios-server, it is also truncated.
Could it be a setting of the CentOs-server?
Or the length of a variable in the plugin-scripts?
(I've tested check_oracle and my own script checking the bandwidth of numerous ports in swithes)

When performing the check from the command line, what amount of chars are you getting before truncation.
I honestly don't know why this would be unless it is something in the plugin.

The tests I performed just now, give me the total (long) outputstring!
I musted have been fooled by the truncation of the UI.
Maybe in combination with an error in the source of the plugin...
Thanks for helping me,
