Add compatibility to Opsview NRPE large output patch

[xorpaul]

This is just pseudo code that should loop/receive NRPE response packets until it receives a normal NRPE response packet.

I patched my NRPE agents to support larger output than 1 kB:

The normal check_nrpe plugin shows the large output correctly, but because Shinken uses the nrpe_poller module it stops after receiving the first 1024 byte :/

I could not bring the nrpe_poller to loop/receive more than 1kB, could you have a look and give me a hint, where I need to loop over the NRPE client responses?

Hi there!

Sorry for the delay! This seems legit, my only comment on that is to replace .info with .debug message :)

@xorpaul

are you still around for / with this patchset ?

there will certainly need some rebase/adaptation vs the last updates done in master branch but nothing hard.

[xorpaul]

Yeah, I'm still around, but I still could not bring the nrpe_poller to loop/receive more than 1kB, could you have a look and give me a hint, where I need to loop over the NRPE client responses?

I'm gonna give it a try on my side, based on what you try to do..

Think I've it done. Gonna open another PR with it.. you'll have to give it try..

but : the link you gave (http://www.opsview.com/whats-new/blog/enhancing-nrpe-large-output) doesn't lead anymore to the blog content.. I could found it in the web archive :

Need more time to do this as I'm still running Shinken 1.4 and need to setup an up-to-date Shinken first :/
