[Xymon] R: xymon 4.3.24 alerts.cfg Argument list too long

[Luca.CorsiniCSL at esselunga.it]

I solved the problem, it's the operating system stack
A problem combination is an updated (linux >=2.6.23) kernel, but missing or suspect glibc support (glibc<=2.14)
That applies exactly to RH6.7
My first solution is to put:

*               soft    stack   unlimited
*               hard    stack   unlimited

In /etc/security/limits.conf
Not the best, but works

Hi Luca,

That seems like a valid config. Can you run xymond_alert in --debug or --trace mode to see what it's sending?

Although I'm not aware of a specific change around this area, what version were you coming from?

Also, can you verify the whitespace on this and that the second line is indented from the first?

Lastly, can you try without the 'FORMAT=SCRIPT' on the line itself? (It shouldn't make a difference in the parsing, but still.)


Regards,
