[Xymon] logfetch questions

[Bakkies Gatvol]

LOGFILE CONFIGURATION ENTRIES

A logfile configuration entry looks like this:


    log:/var/log/messages:10240


The log:FILENAME:SIZE line defines the filename of the log, and the
maximum amount of data (in bytes) to send to the Xymon server.

 
what is the MAX SIZE value possible - iow constrained by what ?

logfetch monitors the bottom X chunk of the file - true or false ?



if I get output like below - what can I conclude?  


[msgs:/var/log/rmsupload.log]
<...SKIPPED...>
SIZE being set to 31856
200 SITE command was accepted
local: /ftpstage/rms/rmsupload17896.t remote: 'tran.rmsrpt32(+1)'
227 Entering Passive Mode (161,195,160,202,88,21)
125 Storing data set TRAN.RMSRPT32.G0008V00


<...SKIPPED...>
I had more data than could fit in the chunk? iow I may have missed interesting stuff!



SIZE being set to 31856  
means what? how is this value decided?


Thanks!
