I know three reasons: - all plugins need to be changed - performance output would not be usable with systems < nagios 3.0 (the pipe limit) since xml is too bloat for - i don't know - 512 bytes? - all performance graphers would need to be changed There was a discussion about performance output changes on the nagiosplug-devel list a couple of weeks ago. Ton and me called for input from performance addon developers - no reply. > > TEXT OUTPUT | OPTIONAL PERFDATA > > LONG TEXT LINE 1 > > LONG TEXT LINE 2 I think Ethan told sth like "I think this won't break anything" at the Nagios Conference last year. That's true if only the first line is interpreted. matthias |
