I bumped up the MAXMSG_DATA and MAXMSG_STATUS again, to 768 from 512 (was 256 by default). restarted hobbit ok. the list of SHM via ipcs (appended below) shows the 768K segment is created. However, an hour later, I still ran into messages for hobbitd like this: Oversize data/client msg from 10.77.9.106 truncated (n=722041, limit 524288) This causes all sorts of problems: PROCS/MSGS/FILES got status CLEAR/Non-reporting or false alerts due to required processes are truncated from listings, plus rrddata not gathered for count of PROCS, etc.
Questions
- is MAX_DATA / MAX_STATUS hard-coded at 512K, somewhere?
- any way to get around this ? The super-sized [ports] is here to stay for a few months at least.
