[xymon] Truncated email alerts

[Mark Stoltzfus]

We use a mix of alert scripts with a mix of instructions for different
recipients, some written in PHP, some in bourne shell, that all show the
same behavior.  The hobbit-alerts.cfg is rather large (400+ lines), but
a typical line looks like this:

 

PAGE=production

SCRIPT /opt/xymon/scripts/notify_unix.sh mark.stoltzfus at pmigroup.com
DURATION>2m EXSERVICE=$NOC_IGNORE REPEAT=9999

 

Where NOC_IGNORE is set to services our NOC folks don't care about.
Maybe a better question would be, does anyone get email alerts that are
larger than 6kb?

 

Regards,

 

Mark

What does your alert config look like?

Xymon generates (NOTE: not the client status on the webpage, which is
complete) are getting truncated beyond a certain length?  We had already
bumped up MAXMSG_STATUS and MAXMSG_CLIENT for a different issue (where
the status messages going to the server were getting truncated), but
this is different.  For example, an alarm gets generated, and on the
xymon webpage, you can see the entire status.  The email we receive,
however, is truncated.  We're running Xymon 4.2.3 on RHEL5.  We're
trying to track down what layer this at, and it's proving a challenge.
We're seeing this across different alarms, but they all seem to get
truncated around 6kb.
