[Xymon] "Discarding timed-out partial msg" Error Messages

Hey all,

Lately, I've been seeing quite a few error messages show up in xymond indicating that it was discarding a timed-out partial message from some machine.

i.e.

Latest error messages: Discarding timed-out partial msg from X.X.X.X

They seem to be happening sporadically but more often than usual as of late. Maybe one or two every couple of days or so. They don't seem to be coming from the same machine/machines either.

Is this something I should be worried about? Are there any side-effects from this happening too much?

What are the causes of this happening? Any way to make it not happen as much?

Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!
