- While looking for clues, stumbled upon a oversize status message in
xymond.log.  It is oversize (!), but is being sent in the form (echo "status
. . blah"; cat mymessage_file | blah formatting stuff |
/home/xymon/client/bin/xymon my_server_name "@"  --  Which someone on this list
(Henrik ?) turned me on to a year or so ago.  Anyway . . .

Have not gotten far on this, but a visual scan sees nothing missing when
comparing the status message sent to what is displayed on the web page.
The "oversize" message comes when the client tries to send a message that is larger than what we can transfer to the xymond_* modules processing the data. This is limited by the size of the memory pool shared between xymond and the xymond_* modules.

You can increase it by setting the MAXMSG_STATUS value in xymonserver.cfg, the default is 256 KB - see the xymonserver.cfg man-page. Note that you'll have to restart Xymon on the server before this has any effect.
