The "oversize" message comes when the client tries to send a message 
that is larger than what we can transfer to the xymond_* modules 
processing the data. This is limited by the size of the memory pool 
shared between xymond and the xymond_* modules.

You can increase it by setting the MAXMSG_STATUS value in 
xymonserver.cfg, the default is 256 KB - see the xymonserver.cfg 
man-page. Note that you'll have to restart Xymon on the server before 
this has any effect.
