TS - Yellow on hobbitd
list Tom Schmitt
I need some assistance in understanding the YELLOW on the hobbit icon.
This is the server xymon is running on.
This is the only message that I can find that is an error message:
Latest errormessages:
Oversize status msg from 128.170.28.14 for slcts00:msgs
truncated (n=801511, limit=262144)
Not sure what can be done to correct the error? Can I bump up a value
somewhere?
Thanks,

Yellow is a step below red. Like traffic lights, yellow could be leading to a bad (red) event. If that oversized status message isn't a problem, then I think you'll want to specify it to be green. I think this is in hobbit-clients.cfg Josh Luthman Office: XXX-XXX-XXXX Direct: XXX-XXX-XXXX XXXX Wayne St Suite XXXX Troy, OH XXXXX "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." --- Albert Einstein

I do not have these values in the .cfg file on the xymon server. Do I just add them to the .cfg file? Is there an explanation of each of the setting values? From the link below: The data being sent from my clients is being truncated. A. The maximum message size can be set in hobbitserver.cfg MAXMSG_CLIENT= MAXMSG_DATA= MAXMSG_STATUS= Change the above parameters to suite your needs.

Look in the archives for suggested values, but yes - simply add them at the bottom.

The defaults are shown in the man page. When you add the values use bits
not Kb.
An example "shown with defaults change as needed":
MAXMSG_CLIENT=512000
MAXMSG_DATA=256000
MAXMSG_STATUS=256000
Per the hobbitserver.cfg man page:
MAXMSG_STATUS
The maximum size of a "status" message in kB,
default: 256.
Status messages are the ones that end up as columns on
the web
display. The default size should be adequate in most
cases, but
some extension scripts can generate very large status
messages -
close to 1024 kB. You should only change this if you
see mes-
sages in the hobbitd log file about status messages being
trun-
cated.
MAXMSG_CLIENT
The maximum size of a "client" message in kB,
default: 512.
"client" messages are generated by the Xymon client, and
often
include large process-listings. You should only change
this if
you see messages in the hobbitd log file about client
messages
being truncated.
MAXMSG_DATA
The maximum size of a "data" message in kB,
default: 256.
"data" messages are typically used for client reports of
e.g.
netstat or vmstat data. You should only change this
setting if
you see messages in the hobbitd log file about data
messages
being truncated.
