Since my upgrade to 5.5 which was successful I'm getting this error on various checks:

ERROR: Description/Type table : Message size exceeded buffer maxMsgSize.

This is happening on Disk Usage, Memory Usage and Swap usage atm.

I can swear I had this fixed in the earlier version but the upgrade must have undone what I did to correct.

Which plugins are you using?

Trying adding/increasing the octetlength with the something like this -o 20000 if available.

Code: Select all

-o, --octetlength=INTEGER
  max-size of the SNMP message, usefull in case of Too Long responses.
  Be carefull with network filters. Range 484 - 65535, default are
  usually 1472,1452,1460 or 1440.

Let us know the output of the commands when increasing.

I increased in the UI and all of the issues did go away. Everything is working now.

Great to hear! Did you have further (related) questions or are we good to lock this up?
