Hi Xymonsters

I got a interesting one. At a site we have a DC/Exchange machine that
has gone purple on the ports, procs and svcs tests. I had a look at the
hobbit column and found the following message. Oversize data/client msg
from 172.27.15.7 truncated (n=6562423, limit 524288). It turns out to be
the dc/exchange server with the purple columns. I had a look at the NT
event log we are pulling is huge due to a security issue. Any ideas on
how to resolve this? The network guys at this site is well let's just
say Mine Sweeper Consultants Solitaire Experts(aka MCSE no offence to
the decent ones out there) that cannot resolve the security issue. 

Can one set this size in hobbit?

Regards
Neil

yep.

In hobbitserver.cfg you could add the following:

MAXMSG_STATUS="12124000"
MAXMSG_DATA="12124000"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="12124000"

This will allow 12 Meg of data. This may be too high for your tastes to 
change to suit

Cheers

Iain
