What is the unit for "n" and "limit" -is it really bytes?- in following messages:

Oversize data/client msg from 1.2.3.4 truncated (n=815596, limit 524288)
Oversize status msg from 1.2.3.5 for smaug:ports truncated (n=370718, limit=262144)


It is.


I'm asking this because although we get quite offen messages like above, the biggest file stored in the histlogs is only ~75 KB.

[bb (at) iris data]$ find hist* -size +75000c -exec ls -la {} \;
-rw-r--r-- 1 bb ci 95558 May 9 11:07 ./hist/allevents
-rw-r--r-- 1 bb ci 76828 May 5 11:41 ./histlogs/zeb1/ports/Fri_May_5_11:40:59_2006


The client message can get very large - you must consider that it
contains all of the information used to generate both the cpu-, disk-,
procs-, msgs-, ports- and files-status columns. Including a full ps- and netstat-listing.


If you want to handle such large messages, look at the MAXMSG_* settings
in hobbitserver.cfg - see the hobbitserver.cfg(5) man-page.

Thanks.

We had to specify MAXMSG_* in bytes but the man page says KB ;-)
