However, when talking to nrpe, even localhost, I still get some CRC failure messages. For the heck of it I disabled that fatal return code, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Any clue why crc would sometimes fail and sometimes not ? I looked at the code but didn’t see anything obvious. There was a nice patch from op5 for nrpe:</div> <div> </div> <div><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://labs.opsview.com/2008/08/enhancing-nrpe-for-large-output/"><font face="Calibri" color="blue"><u>http://labs.opsview.com/2008/08/enhancing-nrpe-for-large-output/</u></font></a></font></div> <div><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></div> <div>But there’s no patch for nsclient to do this and since I have multi-platforms to support that doesn’t work so well for me. Any other clues how to get this to work stable with larger buffer sizes?</div> <div><br> Dan</div> <div><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></div> <div><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></div> <div><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></div> </span></font> </body> </html>
