I have one server that has over 1700 processes, which includes a LOT of java processes, causing a lot of characters per line. So the entire PS output is not sent to the server; is truncated around 1400 lines.
The problem is that any PROC I define to be monitored, that happens not to be within that 1400 lines stays in alarm condition.
I played with setting MAXLINE and MAXMSG_STATUS to very high numbers, but to no success
If this is using the Hobbit client, you will also need to increase the MAXMSG_CLIENT setting. The Hobbit client sends a CLIENT message first; the hobbitd_client module on the server then converts this into a STATUS message for each of the status columns. So you need to increase both.
I also noted that in BB man pages it, says:
/* The maximum size of a message is defined by the maximum allowed length of your shell's command line, and is typically 8-32 KB.
If you need to send longer status messages, you can specify "@" as the message: bb will then read the status message from its stdin.
*/
The Hobbit client uses the latter method, and does not have the few KB limit.
