LOGFILE CONFIGURATION ENTRIES

A logfile configuration entry looks like this:

log:/var/log/messages:10240

The log:FILENAME:SIZE line defines the filename of the log, and the maximum amount of data (in bytes) to send to the Xymon server.

what is the MAX SIZE value possible - iow constrained by what ?

logfetch monitors the bottom X chunk of the file - true or false ?

if I get output like below - what can I conclude?

[msgs:/var/log/rmsupload.log] <...SKIPPED...> SIZE being set to 31856 200 SITE command was accepted local: /ftpstage/rms/rmsupload17896.t remote: 'tran.rmsrpt32(+1)' 227 Entering Passive Mode (161,195,160,202,88,21) 125 Storing data set TRAN.RMSRPT32.G0008V00

<...SKIPPED...> I had more data than could fit in the chunk? iow I may have missed interesting stuff!

SIZE being set to 31856
means what? how is this value decided?

Thanks!
