one of our servers have up to 6000 TIME_WAIT tcp connections from time to time. This got truncated, of course. I want to see them all. any quick way to change the upper limit w/o recompilation ?
Set the MAXMSG_CLIENT setting in hobbitserver.cfg and restart Hobbit. The default is 512 (KB) for the maximum size of a client message.
If you want them all to show up on the status display, you probably also have to increase the MAXMSG_STATUS setting.
The hobbitserver.cfg man-page describes these.
Also, for the same server, from time to time, certain checks 'stopped reporting' [ files & msgs, in particular ] for some extended period, sometimes over 35m, while other checks kept going. I wonder if the message truncation triggered by the over-sized [ports] section caused this loss.
It could very well be due to this. The [files] and [msgs] sections of the client message appear after the network ports listing, so if the message was truncated these could be lost.
