Re: [hobbit] oversized [ports] section && 'stopped reporting' -> feature request (bug ?)



anyway the size limit can be applied invididually for each check, such that
an oversized [ports] or any other section won't vitimize other 'good'
sections and cause them dataless in the RRD?

thanks, I doubled MAXMSG_CLIENT MAXMSG_STATUS as well as MAXMSG_DATA from their default values. That seem to have eliminated the truncation line for PORTS data and oversize status/stachg messages for Hobbitd. after "/etc/init.d/hobbit stop" and 'kill -TERM' the remaining vmstat processes, I had to 'ipcrm' one last shm segment.
