member character limit in hostgroups.cfg

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Sir,

Is this what you are seeking (negative basically) ?

tsitc> grep -r -2 'MAX_HOSTS_INPUT_BUFFER' * | grep -v Bin | more
xdata/xoddefault.c-
xdata/xoddefault.c-
xdata/xoddefault.c:#define MAX_HOSTS_INPUT_BUFFER 8196  /* needed for
very long definitions (i.e. hostgroups) */
xdata/xoddefault.c-
xdata/xoddefault.c-

You need to either hack it or use more hostgroups (many hostgroups eg
hostg_8k, hostg_16k with each host in the groups having the same
contactgroup so all the contacts can still manage the CGIs. This is
prob better from the readability point of view anyway).

If you increase from 8196 your memory consumption will obviously
increase. 

Also, you may find that linked list search times are using CPU and
leading to increased check latency.

Is your installation the one with about 10k hosts ?

Yours sincerely.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
