Package: xymon-client
Version: 4.3.30-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

when running xymon client in localmode, messages that are bigger than 512 Kb get truncated with the following error in /var/log/xymon/xymonclient.log:

2022-03-10 11:07:40.276970 Got over-size message, truncating at 528383 bytes (max: 524288)
2022-03-10 11:07:40.287438 Dropping (more) garbled data

This problem does not go away, if MAXMSG_CLIENT=1024 (for example) on the xymon server get set and activated, because the client ignores this setting.

The solution is to set MAXMSG_CLIENT=1024 on the client in /etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg:

MAXMSG_CLIENT=1024

Best regards
Christoph Zechner
