Greetings,
Recently I have been getting the following error messages in my hobbitd section about my proc column for one of my hosts:
Oversize data/client msg from [IP Address] truncated (n=760399, limit 524288) First line: [Hostname]|hp-ux|hp-ux Oversize status msg from [IP Address] for [Hostname]:ports truncated (n=514197, limit=262144)
Yes - this is due to the client sending status messages that are too large for the server to accept. The default limit for status messages is 256K and clients is 512K; both are not large enough.
You can control this setting by adding values for
MAXMSG_CLIENT MAXMSG_STATUS
into the hobbitserver.cfg config file. In my config I have
MAXMSG_CLIENT="2097152" MAXMSG_STATUS="2097152"
This may be too large for you though so you should perhaps try smaller values first
Cheers
Iain
Any thoughts??
Thanks,
Adam
