Greetings,


Recently I have been getting the following error messages in my hobbitd
section about my proc column for one of my hosts:


Oversize data/client msg from [IP Address] truncated (n=760399, limit
524288)
First line: [Hostname]|hp-ux|hp-ux
Oversize status msg from [IP Address] for [Hostname]:ports truncated
(n=514197, limit=262144)
Yes - this is due to the client sending status messages that are too large for the server to accept. The default limit for status messages is 256K and clients is 512K; both are not large enough.

You can control this setting by adding values for

MAXMSG_CLIENT
MAXMSG_STATUS

into the hobbitserver.cfg config file. In my config I have

MAXMSG_CLIENT="2097152"
MAXMSG_STATUS="2097152"

This may be too large for you though so you should perhaps try smaller values first

Cheers

Iain
Any thoughts??


Thanks,

Adam
