MAXMSG_STATUS and MAXMSG_CLICHG - Long email

While tweaking things I noticed my messages may have been truncated, which
I believe leads to invalidate status and emails (now using html_mail.pl)
I changed the values in xymonserver.cfg as shown below:
MAXLINE="32768"
MAXMSG_STATUS="384"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="1024"
MAXMSG_DATA="1024"

Are there going to be problems on the xymon server with me making these
values larger?  Should I add a MAXMSG_CLICHG setting to fix the "Oversize
clichg" truncation?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

I've been running at:

 MAXMSG_STATUS=4096
 MAXMSG_CLIENT=5120
 MAXMSG_DATA=4096
 MAXMSG_NOTES=4096

... for years now, mainly due to some legacy installs that sent high-res
sar data in client messages and some bulky xml in http content checks.

I haven't noticed any problems outside of the increased memory usage.

IIRC, unless you set it manually MAXMSG_CLICHG will take the value of
MAXMSG_CLIENT


HTH,
