Hey,
I've never seen this message before:
Data flooding from 10.12.9.59 - 1st line client wdev5.linux linux?
What does that even mean? I'm using xymonfetch but it typically truncates the file. This time it's causing tests to go purple.
While the various MAXMSG_* buffer sizes (like MAXMSG_STATUS) refer to a specific type of message and can be used to adjust memory usage, however there's also a compiled-in buffer limit for xymond, intended mainly to catch "runaway" connections while we're still receiving data.
By default (in the tarball), #define MAX_XYMON_INBUFSZ is set to 10MB in xymond.c. It can be increased, but you'll need to recompile for it to take effect.
As far as I know, exceeding that limit is the only thing that will generate a "Data flood" message.
HTH, -jc
