[Xymon] MAXMSG_STATUS and MAXMSG_CLICHG - Long email

While tweaking things I noticed my messages may have been truncated, which I believe leads to invalidate status and emails (now using html_mail.pl) I changed the values in xymonserver.cfg as shown below: MAXLINE="32768" MAXMSG_STATUS="384" MAXMSG_CLIENT="1024" MAXMSG_DATA="1024"

Are there going to be problems on the xymon server with me making these values larger? Should I add a MAXMSG_CLICHG setting to fix the "Oversize clichg" truncation?

*snip*

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

I've been running at:

MAXMSG_STATUS=4096 MAXMSG_CLIENT=5120 MAXMSG_DATA=4096 MAXMSG_NOTES=4096

... for years now, mainly due to some legacy installs that sent high-res sar data in client messages and some bulky xml in http content checks.

I haven't noticed any problems outside of the increased memory usage.

IIRC, unless you set it manually MAXMSG_CLICHG will take the value of MAXMSG_CLIENT

HTH,
