I ran into the same problem monitoring my HP-UX servers, The fix for me was to add these lines to the hobbitserver.cfg file.

MAXLINE="32768" MAXMSG_STATUS="2048" MAXMSG_CLIENT="2048" MAXMSG_DATA="2048"

Hi

We have a problem with distorted data after upgrading to Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2.

The data from HPUX is received correctly at the server, but is shown as in error.

Data in hostdata is correct, while data in histlogs is distorted. The problem is highly transient, e.g. 3 times per week.

Our server is running CentOS release 5.2 (Final) - Linux fulda.scandihealth.com 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5PAE #1 SMP Wed Nov 12 10:02:30 EST 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Please see filedumps below.

Can you provide a fix or workaround or otherwise guide us to avoiding these false alarms..

Best regards
