[hobbit] TS - Yellow on hobbitd

[Bill Richardson]

The defaults are shown in the man page. When you add the values use bits
not Kb.

 An example "shown with defaults change as needed":

MAXMSG_CLIENT=512000
MAXMSG_DATA=256000
MAXMSG_STATUS=256000

Per the hobbitserver.cfg man page:
  MAXMSG_STATUS
              The  maximum  size  of  a  "status" message in kB,
default: 256.
              Status messages are the ones that end up as columns on
the  web
              display.  The default size should be adequate in most
cases, but
              some extension scripts can generate very large status
messages -
              close  to  1024  kB. You should only change this if you
see mes-
              sages in the hobbitd log file about status messages being
trun-
              cated.
 
       MAXMSG_CLIENT
              The  maximum  size  of  a  "client" message in kB,
default: 512.
              "client" messages are generated by the Xymon client,  and
often
              include  large  process-listings. You should only change
this if
              you see messages in the hobbitd log file about  client
messages
              being truncated.
 
       MAXMSG_DATA
              The  maximum  size  of  a  "data"  message  in kB,
default: 256.
              "data" messages are typically used for client  reports  of
e.g.
              netstat  or  vmstat data. You should only change this
setting if
              you see messages in the hobbitd log  file  about  data
messages
              being truncated.

Look in the archives for suggested values, but yes - simply add them at
the bottom.
