[Nagios-devel] Small read status data patch

[Matthias F. <Mat...@st...>]

Hello Ethan, hello list,

testing around with multiline plugin output Hendrik and I found that the 
long
plugin output in extinfo.cgi was cut around 2000 bytes. The reason for that
restriction is a hardcoded buffer definition in function 
xsddefault_read_status_data:
char input[2048]="";

I attached a small patch against xsddefault.c to replace '2048' with
MAX_PLUGIN_OUTPUT_LENGTH.  I would prefer this setting instead of
MAX_INPUT_BUFFER because otherwise numerous buffer definitions will be
extended and IMO the plugin output length will be likely the longer part 
in future.

Kind regards,
Matthias
