In the server man pages it said that the MSGMAX_DATA defaulted to 256kb so I raised it to 512kb. So your saying that I need to raise it to 768kb? The only reason I say this is because in the error message it says:

I mentioned to raise it to 768kb only because the other MAX* variables were set to that. In reality, you only need to raise it to whatever the largest "data/client msg" size is. In this case, that would be 579186.

Latest errormessages: Oversize data/client msg from 172.31.128.50 truncated (n=579186, limit 524288) First line: gsonc-spg-omea-1|sunos|sunos

Which says the limit is "524588" and if the MSGMAX_DATA is set to 256 by default then I would think that this value is dealing with the MSGMAX_CLIENT which is defaulted to 512 and I raised it to 768.

MSGMAX_CLIENT is larger than _DATA because the former generally contains more data. Other than that, there is no need for the three MAX* settings to have any specific relationship between each other's values.

Hobbit rehashes most config files automatically, with the exception of hobbitserver.cfg When you change hobbitserver.cfg, you must restart Hobbit for it to take effect.

I understand what you are saying but after making the change in the hobbitserver.cfg file I am still getting this message on hobbit:

I have made the change on the server and set them all to 768432 and bouced the hobbit server process and still hadn't seen a change. So I am restarting the hobbit process on the client server also.

MAXMSG_STATUS="768432"

MAXMSG_DATA="768432"

MAXMSG_CLIENT="768432"

Thanks,

Josh

Here's your problem: Oversize data/client msg from 172.31.128.50 <http://172.31.128.50/> truncated (n=581293, limit 524288) MAXMSG_DATA="524288"

n=581293 > MAXMSG_DATA=524288

MAXMSG_STATUS is for the "status"-type alerts (green/yellow/red/etc, but no trendable data), and MAXMSG_DATA is for the "data"-type alerts.

I have MAXMSG_CLIENT=655360 and this seems to work well for me. I would try setting all three to this value, unless you have specifically seen that you require 768432. In that case, try setting all three to that value. However, you don't need to set them all the same; it just makes things a little more consistent if you do.

I am receiving this msg from one of my solaris boxes and made some changes still getting the message.

Here is what my hobbitserver.cfg has in it:

MAXMSG_STATUS="768432"

MAXMSG_DATA="524288"

MAXMSG_CLIENT="768432"

I have restarted the hobbit process but I am still receiving these messages.

Thanks,
