<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">In my experience when xymon considers the client message is too big, it just chops it off at the size limit and carries on with what it has. Did you try enlarging the message size? I originally had an issue with this
with bbwin, it ignored the message size setting, but I imagine the powershell client works.<br>

<span style="color:rgb(0,36,81)">My issue is not with that. I have a server that fails sending to xymon, but only fails partly. So what I get is that Xymon claims for eg: procs are not running .. in my estimation - not because procs are not running, but because
the whole "packet of info" did not make it to xymon. <br>

<span style="color:rgb(0,36,81)">My question is why do I get no matching yellow in xymond. Surely it should be able to detect "this is not a full packet" just the same as in an oversize packet?

I solved the problem temporarily with a delayed red .. because as soon as a full packet makes it - the procs are happy again.</span></div>
