Hello,

I am getting the following message causing xymond to report yellow:
Oversize notes/user msg from x.x.x.x for  truncated (n=198957, limit=131072).

can someone inform me how to increase the limit of this value?
I thought it was by updating this value MAXMSG_NOTES & MAXMSG_CLIENT in hobbitserver.cfg, but that does not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Kapildev Khemraj

That's the one. Note that you need to restart Xymon for this to take effect.

Hi Henrik,
I did adjust that value and restarted xymon, I even restarted the xymon vm itself with no luck.

Thanks,

Looking at your original error message, I just noticed that it said
Oversize notes/user msg ... (n=198957, limit=131072)
So the current limit is 131072 bytes = 128 kB. Now, the default value 
for MAXMSG_NOTES is 256 kB, so unless you lowered that it doesn't
make sense.

However, the 'user' channel is 128 kB by default. So it's probably that 
one that needs changing. So add a

    MAXMSG_USER=256

to xymonserver.cfg and see if that helps.

The error message should be clearer about which parameter to tweak, and 
MAXMSG_USER isn't documented in the man-page. I'll see about fixing that.


Regards,
Henrik
