Unless those perl plugins have been designed specifically to work with ePN, then I wouldn't be too surprised to see oddness. ePN transforms the plugin in a way that can cause unexpected breakage if the author wasn't expecting it. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/embeddedperl.html and http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/epnplugins.html as well as most archive postings by Stanley Hopcroft can provide insight as well as some troubleshooting hints (like using contrib/ mini_epn for testing, though I have doubts it would show a gradual problem such as this). The simplest troubleshooting path may be to use the '# nagios: -epn' flag to disable ePN processing on individual plugins (or all, then add them back individually) to help identify the plugin that's causing the issue. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
