How to increase max message size

I have a few hosts that are sending large status messages and am getting:

2011-12-11 20:16:24 Oversize status msg from 64.94.253.22 for
host.company.com:ports truncated (n=340208, limit=262144)

I've tried increasing MAXLINE in xymonserver.cfg, but that does not seem to
have fixed the issue.  Where can I increase this, as I'm sick of seeing
xymond being yellow all the time.

Thanks!

You probably need to set MAXMSG_STATUS in xymonserver.cfg.  It defaults to
256, which means 256Kb, which is where your 262144 comes from.

See the "XYMOND SETTINGS" in the xymonserver.cfg man page for details.
